Do you have a link with the details of how to request the match?

another anecdote . AA PLT tired of bad experiences, asked to stay away from AA by company until they sort out their issues ( This was during the pilot write up phase). company has a relationship with UA and DL.
UA matched at *gold. There is a special form.
TK is sitting on the request.
DL offered only a challenge, and advised I line up travel before taking it on.

If you find out let me know. I tried 3 or 4 different agents and clearly they didn't seem interested in my business. Instead I did a 1K challenge with UA and have spent quite a bit with them. (I still did 160K MQM on Delta this year.)

I have 25,000+ miles planned for the next three month on UA. However, I don't have status on any other airlines (I'm a premier on UA). is there anyway to get UA fast track me to platinum?
thanks
thanks

Looks like it was a success and it only took about a week. Oddly, they were okay with just a screenshot of his DL account but when he requested the same comp for his wife (also a DL Silver), they wanted a copy of her card to go along with the screenshot.

In December, they started matching DL Diamond to AA EXP. They get status until March '13 and need to fly 25,000 EQM without bonuses to requalify and keep it for all of '13.

I have DL Gold until the end of Feb. What are my options in terms of getting a status match with other airlines? (Believe it or not, I have read a lot of the recent posts but I'm unsure what's in effect and what is out of date.)

AS may or may not grant you a match, since DL is AS partner.
In addition, Both AA and UA have challenges. And US has a straight buy program.
