After crossing 125,000 miles this year on AA (3.5Million+ lifetime miles), decided to go outside OneWorld and *Silver (on LH) and faxed a status match request to CO at about Noon PST.

Within 1 hr, status matched to Platinum.

Booked a bunch of flts on CO. Very inexpensive last minute SFO-EWR and SJC-EWR. EWR-DEL is also quite apealing for last minute travel (AA charges $4K even in coach for last minute travel on ORD-DEL though I've had 100% VIPOW upgrades on multiple trips).

I'll probably keep both CO Plat and AA EXP.
