For those who have status matched...
Do we get 100% BIS + 125% Elite Bonus + COS Bonus in the status matched year?
The AS website says: "Members granted complimentary status, including status matched from another program, are not eligible for these bonus miles."
I can't tell if that's the elite bonus miles for flying or the 50K miles for reaching MVP75K.
TIA

So to confirm, on a 1000mi flight in F, an MVP Gold 75k would receive:
1000 RDMs (and EQM) for BiS
1000 RDMs (and EQM) for CoS
1250 RDMs for elite bonus
For a total of 2000 EQMs/3250 RDMs, correct?

Also you get your 4 guest upgrades right away and you will get the next 4 when you achieve MVPG earning milestone. All 8 of mine are 12/31/17 expiry and I matched earlier this year.

CoS on an AS F flight is only 75%, so nearly correct. (see: https://www.alaskaair.com/content/mi...on-alaska.aspx )
It'd be 1750EQM, 3000RDM.

Correct. AFAIK, that's why they have the two columns in the earnings chart (one that goes up to 100% and one for additional earning over the first 100%.) The elite bonus only applies to the first column.

What's up? Has any one heard of getting denied a status match from AA plat where the AA plat was awarded from a status challenge?

that was mentioned somewhere previously, yes. The status to be matched has to be actually earned - United will similarly deny a status challenge for "non-legitimate" holders of AA Plat

Any chance they'd be more lenient with VX due to the acquisition? Was thinking about taking advantage of the VX/Amex promotion for Elevate Gold.

What current match does AS offer from VX?
Sounds like I should consider trying this in October to lock in status for next year...
