How about starting a thread with info about addresses to write to (or fax numbers) and responses people have had for requests for matched status? Will make it easier for all those in the wave behind you.

Would be especially interested to hear if NW is matching anyone's CO or DL status. Or any other helpful details from experiences with other programs. Might as well speed up the exodus, eh?

I doubt that NW will match CO or DL status--I am a DL and UA elite (GM and PremEx, if it matters), but my workplace has basically switched mo over to CO in the last month or so. I called about getting comped to CO, and they told me that they won't match DL b/c of the alliance, but *would* match UA if I brought in my current card plus statment.

So I did.

It's actually easier to get UA to do it, b/c they will accept a fax of your statement. If you call their FF800 number and explain what you want to do, they will connect you to the dept that handles comps. It's quick, easy and painless.
