I am thinking of doing a status match with AS (from AA gold).
1. As soon as I get the temporary status, will I be able to earn 50% bonus for flown miles?
2. During the 90 day period, suppose I earn 40K elite qualifying miles only on partners. Will I get the MVP gold immediately or do I have to wait until 2025? The current rule says I have to fly AS to keep the matched status (that is not happening) but the current rule change in 2024 says the 2024 qualification does not require AS flights, so if I fly 40K EQMs by September, what will be my status?

finally, is there any opportunity to get a temporary Gold status without status match? I don't have any mid tier status with any airlines now, so trying to get the gold status so that I can earn 100% bonus miles rather than 50%
