Photo of card (preferably physical), and a statement showing you earn your status by flying vs some promotion. So just a screenshot of your last statement with flights is fine.
DL will give you status for 3 months, but if you meet the status challenge PQM/PQD requirements you'll keep it for the whole year.

No, as soon as you apply and are accepted for the challenge the clock starts ticking
I recently did this challenge due to having some long haul flights on AF which would have got me very near the qualification, but for some reason the flown miles didn't even post to my DL account despite being in a full earning fare bucket

My current status ends Feb 28. So I was planning on applying ~ Feb 21. I have a long haul flight mid May, returning June 1st. This will qualify me for the challenge... I hope that DL will see when I actually fly and count them.
Regarding needing proof that I got my status the regular way... I got my status due to my flights in 2017... I am not sure how to get that data from AC's Altittude program, but I'll see.

Will United MileagePlus status benefit me at all for a flight I purchased using MileagePlus points? Or does United ignore status for award flights?
Separately, has anyone had any luck leveraging status with Delta SkyMiles for obtaining status with with ANA Mileage Club?

All status benefits apply regardless of being a revenue or award ticket.

ANA does not match status (no Japanese carrier does).
