I read through the last 3 months of posting, and am confused, by seeming contradictory posts.
1. Should I wait until after 1/1/08 to request match/ challange? (the quote above makes sense though)
2. Are all UA's now challange only, not matches?
3. Do they have different challange levels for Premier exec and 1k?
4. Does 1 k match/ challange still exist?
5. Will all star alliance flights count on the challange or just UA ( I probbaly have a SFO to AKL on NZ in Q1 2008).
6. Are phone requests accepted or only email, if so what # or address?
thanks much
when i did my match with UA, they made me prem exec right away and gave me 90 days to complete 15 segments, the one nice thing about ua is that each flight counts as a elite segment, regardless of fare, and flights on usairways count as elite also. I received the elite benefits right away, which at ohare means you can access the elite security line.
I met the challlenge in less than two months and will be 1k next year due to the segments.
hope this helps
