I could use this information as well. I am lifetime PLT on AA but the last of the MM'er eVPs are expiring on 2/13 and could use a top tier status match as well.

US to AA Status Match?
Hi Guys,
I am Platinum on US and my company has me doing more work in DFW these days. Since March I have flown LAX to PHX to DFW on US and been upgraded every time both ways. However, AA seems to have a lil better pricing and non-stops. Any chance of getting a status match? Will I have to do a challenge to keep the status? What AA status is comparable to Platinum US? What are my chances of getting upgraded LAX to DFW? Thanks in advance for your help!! |

You can only start a challenge on the 1st or 16th of a month. As for DL -- https://www.delta.com/planning_reser...atus_match.jsp |

Hi Y'all,
How do I keep my Platinum (75K qualification level) status going through 2013 and beyond by matching to a different FF program now? I currently am Platinum with KL/AF Flying Blue until March 2013. I will not requalify (for any elite level). I'd like to keep top tier (or 75K threshold level) status on *any* *A/OW/ST carrier for at least the rest of 2013, if not longer. I understand that TK is matching at the mid-tier level, and I'm looking at them. I have already used AS's mid-tier match and likely will not requalify with them. But are there any top-ish tier straight up matches that could possibly work? Again, I'll go with *any* alliance-affiliated airline. Just want to keep the status/potential match opportunity going for the future, when I may fly more. Any insight is appreciated. Safe travels! try United (match to premier platinum) or turkish (match to gold) for star alliance. try Cathay (match to silver generally) for one world. Emirates make a match status too in this moment for one year but skyward send your request in france desk (or local desk)... and in france it's difficult... AA= challenge (match only for delta medaillon ou UA 1k) British airways: i dont' know make a match status ( i dont' test and donc have email ok executive club) |

And only to Gold, not to Plat. |

I figured I'd give a quick recap of my recent UA to TK status match. I had UA Premier Gold status in 2012 from flying in 2011, but had only flown 8 segments and ~7500 EQMs in 2012. I emailed TK with a scan of my UA Premier Gold Card and screen shot of current account statement on October 7. TK emailed a response on October 10 stating that my TK account had been updated to "Elite Card" status. I finally received my TK "Elite Card" card in the mail on October 26. The card is valid through October 2014. :D

If I try a status match with United as a AA Plat, what level would United typically offer?
