Us Airways, the old woman (by her voice) abruptly interrupted me and said "we do not match from one airline to another; you have to earn your status by flying with Us Airways." (sounds very harsh)

So- it's not easy to be a flyer now...
As late as a few months ago, anyone could buy elite status from US. They were offering to sell Gold for $400 and Platinum for $600. Shows you how little they think their product is worth... and they're right! Not sure if that's still available but you may want to call.
