I attempted to do a status match with Delta by doing a screen print of my Frontier profile page that shows the Elite 100K status. They emailed back and said this isn't enough proof. They want me to send an image of a physical card or a statement. The trouble is I don't believe Frontier gives out status cards or sends statements. Any idea on how to find a solution for this?

Thanks!

Which airline are you trying to match to?

Did you earn your 100K organically or through a status match of some kind?

If you are successful, I'd be interested to know.

Is there a formal status match or staus challenge for Delta now.

What did you ask for as a "match" for 100K

I don't think legacy carriers are thrilled about matching LCC

I was attempting to status match to Delta but I learned they don't like status that was not earned organically. Although, I'm not sure how they could figure that out unless they demanded flight history. I guess it's a moot point though as there doesn't seem to be any way to show them my 100K status in an acceptable format.

See my other post from a minute ago.

I was suspecting it was the Delta status match/challenge and was going to point out that it doesn�t matter because they only accept �organic� statuses and not other status matches.

Delta asks for a �statement� that shows you going from 0 miles to 100K miles that looks like you actually took flights to get there. If you have one entry on your statement showing you went from 0 miles to 50K or 100K instantly, they will assume it is a status match and would deny you.

Frontier has a section in your profile on the website that shows miles history added to your account and if you have a bunch of flights and they add miles in reasonable increments 500 miles, 850 miles, 2300 miles, and such to get up to 100K, then they will consider your status �organic�.

Thanks for the insight on this.

Ah, while not taking a position on what one should or shouldn't do, some Airline FFs are pretty laxed and pretty much accept either an image of your elite status card of from that of your online account. Others, CX off the top of my head, requested an itemized line by line account summary of how said status had been achieved, and they do peruse it pretty thoroughly.

With DL, it's variable; for some they'll request the itemized summary similar to CX's practice. For others, the status (challenge) was granted upon a successful submission of elite status card/screen image.

Again, not suggesting what you should or shouldn't do, but I'm from the school where I'd submit it, and roll the dice. I mean, what have you got to lose? Some time writing up and attaching an image on an email?
