Gold 75K, according to AS' match page. Updated the wiki to reflect that as well as ConciergeKey.
(formatting note: AS' page lists Executive Platinum as AAdvantage Executive Platinum but Platinum Pro and ConciergeKey without the preceding "AAdvantage". Placed as such in the wiki)

I status matched last year from UA Silver thinking I could fly AS more. I ended up flying more with UA and got to 1K. Now AS has been adding a lot of flights out of SAN that I would much rather do with them. I should have not matched last year. I guess I'll have to earn status the old fashioned way. I wasn't even offered a challenge to qualify back to MVP this year

I was thinking about that. I guess it doesn't hurt to try.

I helped a friends applying through the Alsaka Website (https://www.alaskaair.com/content/de...e:status-match) approx 30 days ago, from UA 1K and he didn't hear anything back, has anyone tried to do it from the website and actually got approved?

You're right. This is the reply I got after asking them to reconsider:
"Unfortunately, we do not offer Tier Matches to members who live outside of the Alaska Airlines route structure and therefore we respectfully decline your request for a Tier Match".
It is unfortunate, but it make sense. So I'm staying 100% with AAdvantage and Flying Blue it seems.

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.

I have American Platinum status, but no miles for this year yet, so I hope the 0 there doesn't stop me from getting AS status
Unfortunately I had just paid $98 for 2 Premium DFW to SEA seat upgrades in June. Oh well, at least I might still get free bags.

Thanks for that link. I accidentally hit this part of this thread while searching for something else.

Have some flights coming up but my status match hasn't been processed yet. Will they retroactively give me the bonus miles from when I originally applied from the status match, or is that not a thing they'd likely be willing to do?

I am being cheeky of course, but it really is the same thing. We all have status coming at some point in the future. Why would they give a bonus retroactively until you have earned (or been gifted ) the status? I would seriously hooe the answer is no.

How soon should I expect the (4) Guest Upgrade codes to appear in my status-matched account to MVP Gold?
