Recently requested a Continental match to my Delta Platinum status but was informed that they do not match other Skyteam partners. It was frustrating because my future travel will take me to Latin American destinations where only CO (and international carriers) have direct routes from my home base (NYC). As a result I'll probably be mixing and matching U.S. and international carriers based on fare instead of sticking with CO. Would rather support a U.S.-based carrier, but oh well.

Please let me know know if anyone hears otherwise!
