That’s totally me there. I forgot the “not” from mobile.

Waiting in line is fine. The range that was provided in the email was “Status Match Challenge requests are usually reviewed within 5 business days, but please allow up to 2 weeks.” Hence the reason for the inquiry. Being that I am at 2 weeks, I inquired. The 6 to 8 week part I am not happy about.
If I was okay with waiting that long, I would just earn the status and not participate in the match.
The match program is to allow me to compare apples to apples. It’s one thing to compare posted benefits of medallion status, it’s another when they are put in play. All airlines aren’t going to be everything to everyone. I submitted for the match to see if Delta is worth being loyal to.
