Hi!
Can anyone suggest the right e-mail to ask for a status match with Delta?
I've sent several e-mails to them and never got an answer

Been here yet? http://www.delta.com/planning_reserv...atus_match.jsp

This is how I did mine 3 weeks ago without issue.

Yes, exactly the same link... Will try it once more. Thanks

I successfully matched with CO and 1 year later with UA.:)

I guess I am lucky. I applied for status match With UA at same time as you (with AA Plat) and was given *A Gold. I did not do any flying to keep the status. It was to expire Feb 3rd and it stil shows *A Gold. In fact I am in a CO lounge in Guam with this status and have used the lounge benefit several times after Feb 3rd. I hope it stays that way for a while and I don't jinx it :)

Status Matching on Star Alliance
 

I would really appreciate if someone could help me figure this out. As I live in Australia, Star Alliance is not possible for domestic travel so I am Qantas Gold (Oneworld Sapphire). However, I am just about to embark on the following journey in July. Other Star alliance flights on various carriers are sechuled for next year.

What I am aiming for is to get enough points to get a ticket from Brisbane to somewhere, most likely New Zealand, even if its only one way. The RTW journey has some 1 Qantas flight from SYD to Hong Kong which obviously won't get me Star Alliance points but the rest is:

Hong Kong to Milan via Zurich on Swiss Z Business Class
Geneva to New York on Swiss Z Business Class
JFK to Sydney on United ( one flight number 819 via SFO)

I also have two internal flights with Air Canada - Boston to Quebec City and Toronto to Chicago - all economy restricted. Later this year also oneway flight on Thai Singapore to Bangkok in Business

Two questions:

Which is the best airline to status match my Qantas Gold to, and what level will I be matched at?
Which airline will get me the most points?

Thanks to anyone who has the time to provide this advice, I realise its a bit complex, and unfortunately I am not very good with these things.

You could try your luck with BD, otherwise if this doesnt work why not going for A3? I'm unsure if they do status matches, but with the miles racked up during your journey you are at first glance highly likely to hit *G during your RTW

Anyone know of any status matches with Skyteam?

Im ex NCL and want to have AMS as an option due to some of the recent issues with weather at LHR.

Currently BA Silver, and will probs be A3 gold shortly

I guess this thread is generally not about status matches within OneWorld, but if anyone is interested: I have called IB about matching (or rather moving) my BAEC Silver to them. (I am boycotting LHR and BA, so it's of no use there.)

Answer: they have nothing in place for this. (I understand take that as a "no". :p)

Generally, there are no status matches within alliances.

So, is it possible to do two status matches across alliances for the same effect?

Yes, in theory, if you can find two programs matching... especially one in OW at the moment...

Just curious, is there a chart for possible status matching pairs?

Delta silver and AA gold trying to get any *A status
 

Hi,

I have a Delta silver and AA gold and trying to get a *A status match. I have emailed United and Continental a few times with all account info and proof but no answer. :mad: Which *A airline do I have a chance to match these?
Thanks,

You can pretty much forget CO since they will be gone in a few days. But my question would be why do you even want a match? You already have low tier elite status with two airlines so what do you gain by having a third?

BTW, it is more likely you will need to do a challenge instead of a match but there is much more info about UA over on their forum in this thread....
