After faxing UA for a status match for my AA Plat, I got a letter back requesting a copy of my AA card and AA statement. I'd fax'd all of that. I immediately responded by US mail. Got my status match a week later. 3 weeks total. Notified by mail. Now I'll wait for the card.

Also, req. status match on Alaska by fax and got it 2 weeks later. Notified by mail. they included a card and 4 ow 1st class upgrades.
