If you get a status match now it's only good till 12/31 of this year (2017).
I got a status match in Dec 2016 so i'm getting 13 months worth of use. Should have done my research earlier
Shucks, planning to take an AS flight in September transcon, but don't think I'll fly them enough for the rest of the year to qualify for 2018 if I do a status match now. (Though I should be on track to have WN status next year, so will probably suck it up and wait until October to do the match).
