Just spoke with my friend who wrote a letter to American asking for AA to match his UA2P and they granted him Gold status. When i contacted Aadvantage customer service they told me they no longer do status matches "as of august". My friend, in his letter, provided no mileage statement nor his elite status card. Maybe I should try to write a letter to them asking for status match. What do you think?


=======================MODERATOR NOTE=========================

1) American Airlines normally will notmatch status for elites of other airline programs, unless they have a special offer, or the flyer works for a company with an agreement with American Airlines to provide
status for their CIPs;

2) AA will generally not match highest tier (Executive Platinum) status in any case.

Exceptions are occasionally made, as evidenced by this thread:
AA status match Gold / Plat for elites of certain airlines, specific companies

Some airlines do offer status matches to applying American AAdvantage elites.
These are best discussed in the Forum of the respective airline, though there is
an existing thread in this Forum:
AAdvantage status match by other airlines (consolidated)
