There are 26 full members and 3 pending members of *A, why would you like to have gold status to all of them? Status match is usually an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't waste your chance when you don't need it.

As for status match on CO, simply fax your current VS statement and a head letter of application to CO. And then you should hear from CO pretty soon.

I have no problem getting status matched on any airline. They're all willing to match my no status.

I actually started laughing when I read the OP's post..
What a funny question from the OP.
Why would anyone want status match from every single Star partner?

The above thread is a good place to start when looking for information on a status match. As others have pointed out, it's not necessary to status match to all members of Star Alliance. Holding status in one will generally give you some perks across the entire Alliance.

CO & UA are *A, while DL is Skyteam.

Status match thread posted above will be able to help you. Again, though, b/c this is likely a once in a lifetime thing, you're going to want a good reason to use these all at once, especially for partners in the same alliance.
