If it's only a couple of round-trips/year with your spouse, the extra AS points might even things out.
That's actually not true, oddly enough.

My colleague was an MVP, but they matched him to Gold upon seeing his United Premier 1K credentials.

He's now a 75K (from BIS flying), so it worked.

For the heck of it I'm going to try to use my 1K and see if they will bump me up. Worth a shot. I dropped to MVPG since I moved a lot over to UA. I may try to make the case that I'd move international onto AS partners.

You can generally only play the status match card once ... so be sure that its worth it to you to play it before you try.

I did burn the match many years ago :( Then again the odds of me ever getting elite status again with another carrier outside AS is so slim, i wont be able to match again anyways. That's if worthwhile FF programs aren't extinct in the next decade
