1. In how many frequent flyer programs (not hotel programs) are you an elite-level member?
1
2. What one benefit do you appreciate the most in your elite program? (Early boarding, Lounge access, Elite flight bonuses, Exclusive awards, Upgrades)
Access to E+ (this is UA, of course).
3. Have you achieved life-time elite status in any program? (Yes, No)
No. My best shot would have been TWA, but they went belly-up.
4. Have you successfully asked a frequent flyer program to match your elite status in another program? (Yes, No, Haven't tried)
Yes, twice. CO matched my TW status, and UA matched my CO status.
