The match goes both to and from the airlines listed in each category, yes?

Last year I flew about 25k with UA last year, and would probably do about the same or a little more with AS this year.

Thanks!
My advice would be to give it a shot. AS seems to be pretty forgiving with the requirements. Others here have posted status match success with inadequate activity in the "match from" carrier account.
The worst they can do is say "no"!

You can take a look through the status match master thread and see if anyone has matched their Alaska status to a competing carrier there. If you can't find anyone who has, that would be a good place to ask the question.

Thanks for answering the question that I clearly misread and incorrectly replied to.

Just to be clear, AS is now no longer matching statuses from VX right? I re-qualified again for Silver in 2017, but AS is refusing to give me any status.

If you requalified for Silver in 2017 for 2018, you are AS MVP. I think there have been problems transitioning the status.

If if you qualified in 2016 and had Silver in 2017 and it's set to expire soon, correct that you can't match.

Matched from UA Silver (just barely made it at end of year) to MVP
based in LA and had about 8K miles on AS last year, expecting to d a lot of flying BUR-PDX and BUR-SJC for the next few years.

I'm trying to match from UA. What should I include in my screenshot? It says status and YTD miles, but I haven't yet flown any miles this year (earned UA Silver last year). I assume they want to know I actually earned the status by flying last year? Presumably you could have UA Silver through some non-flying thing like hotel status or whatnot?

If you go on the UA website and go to the "mileage plus activity since my last statement" you can set the dates to show all your flight activity from 1/1/17 to 12/31/17. It looks like the page includes all the required information (name, mp number, status, pqm). It doesn't add them up, but it does show PQM for each flight so someone could easily do so. Depending on your screen, you may have to print the page to a file rather than snapping a screenshot, as it may not all fit in one screen without scrolling. There may be a better screen somewhere, but I'm not sure of another way to get it to show all of your 2017 pqm.

https://mystatus.united.com/ should show it on a single screen.

Indeed it does! When I looked at it at the end of the year to submit mine I thought it was missing one piece of information-- I somehow think that it didn't show my last name before, but does now.

Applied online at 12/31 and then emailed on 1/17 because I was getting impatient. Just checked today on my phone (1/22) and saw that my account had MVP status.

Matched from UA Silver.

United Platinum matched today to Gold 75K.

Coincidentally I noticed the match while hitting Million Miler on a United flight today.
