I did this about a year ago, moving from AA Plat to CO Gold, and I made CO Plat by Nov 2002. I sent both a FEDEX and a follow up e-mail, and my complimentary status was granted about 3 days later.

One Pass Elite Match
9999 Richmond, Suite 112
Houston, TX 77042

To whom it may concern:

This is in regard to the OnePass Elite Match effort.

I have sent to you via FEDEX (tracking #nnn) a copy of my most recent American Airlines frequent flyer statements and elite card in the hope that you would consider extending OnePass elite status to me. I have also included a screen snapshot of the American Airlines frequent flyer statement with this e-mail message.

I intend to travel exclusively and frequently on Continental in the future. Thank you very much.

signed, Miggles, OnePass #nnn
