Just adding another DP here. DL DM, submitted just after midnight on the 1st, and I've received nothing beyond the autoreply. It is an interesting theory that perhaps they process requests by airline rather than time received. There have been past reports of status matches being denied when people have attempting to match from a program where they either had comped status or earned it via credit card spend. It makes one wonder if they really do take the time to validate each request with the competing airline.

Regarding your theory, I suspect it's true- they quickly look at all requests, and select any "red flags" for additional research.
I certainly don't know what order they go in, but I've also wondered whether they prioritize higher-ranking members from other programs.
As I've slowly weaned myself off of United, I've dropped down to silver this year, and I might not be as "valuable" to Alaska.

Maybe they're actually smart enough to call the phone system of the airline you're claiming status with and check that at least your tier is correct. Versus some airlines who just assume that the paperwork you submit is real...

AA EXP requested on the 8th. Still nothing other than the auto-generated email. Looks like it might be several weeks 
, and I have a DCA-SEA-ANC flight coming up in 2 weeks.

Going to match with Southwest CP. I can't find my 2017 CP card. Found my 2016 one and my account shows I requalified for 2018. I'm not aware of a digital card in the app.
Any suggestions?

There is a digital card, at least in the android app. It's under "my account" as "Mileage Plan card". Shows membership info and expiration date.

You'll get good value from your 75K status, just don't expect it to be an easy/automatic upgrade on the DC-SEA route.
