They closest thing to a statement is that nights accumulated in both programs that will apply August. They haven't explicit come out and said matched gold from United gold will convert to platinum. I've seen explicit statements that matched Marriott gold from Starwood gold would stay gold in the new program. At this point if I had to put money on what matched status in August from United gold will be it would be gold, but it's up in the air. There will be blowback from Starwood golds if they give UA golds platinum for sure.
