If you mean will DL match your CO elite status, the answer is "no". I say this b/c I was comped to CO gold in '03, and they specifically said I couldn't use elite status as the basis for that. As it happened, I was also and elite on UA, so I used that instead. (Compint to UA should be pretty easy; just call the normal UA line and explain what you want to do, and they will connect you with someone who will explain/help you do it.)
Don't know if the policy has changed but I doubt it.
Best of luck,
