To answer my own question, UA refused to match my AS MVP status because I had a CO match in 2009. I'm moving away from SEA because of work, so will not need to fly AS anymore. Seems like a stupid move on UA's part because now I'll just give business to DL and AA and use my AS MVP status.

Etihad Gold Status Match
I saw on a blog that Etihad is status matching to Gold for everyone (not just for the first 500 people as in previous offers) until Feb 22. Details can be found here: http://www.etihadairways.com/sites/E...gold-card.aspx
Edited: The offer has been changed to only those who have a UAE address.

You can try again, maybe different agent offers more. Wouldn't be unusual for any call centre.

I wrote several emails to try to convince them to match me to Platinum from AA Platinum. They were brief in their responses and insisted they could go no further than gold.

Greetings all,
hoping one of you might have some valuable input. Am about to go Platinum on AirBerlin this month with 100k flown. My travel is mostly in Germany, less so Europe, and occasionally further afield. I would like to get a Status Match to a Star Alliance carrier for lounge access.
From what I've read, LH is stingy with this - are there other SA carriers which may be more forthcoming?
thanks in advance,
William

Hello William,
You should easily get a status match with Turkish Airlines. They match to ELITE level anyone holding gold status with one of the airline of the 3 big alliances.
