I guess where they do the match is PQD, as 35k tier points is about $2916.66 if you only book business select tickets, more if you're doing Wanna get away tickets.
Fair enough; I can see why you thought that should match to Gold then. It's closer than my comparison made it appear.

^ Just checking. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you're able to do this, then. I haven't done an airline status match in a long time; the hotel matches I've done wanted to see actual stay information.
