"Qualifying flights on American Airlines, American Eagle, AmericanConnection®, British Airways, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, Qantas, US Airways and their eligible codeshare flights count toward your challenge."
i.e. not CX

Did you look at the rules for the challenge?

Star Alliance status match
Hello, I'm a DL GM, and I'm considering matching it with either TK or A3, for *A Gold. Which one, do you think, I should go for? (EDIT: easier to retain, no issues using the *A Gold benefits, etc. (for example, properly showing the gold status on the boarding passes, etc.)).
Also, do you really get *A gold lifetime if you match it to A3? And, do they do status matches?
Thanks!

Requested status match from AA Platinum to AB Topbonus Gold. Approved and received Topbonus Gold card and 2 luggage tags within 1 month. Card arrived while in Thailand but was able to use lounges in Bangkok, Abu Dhabi, and Dusseldorf by showing gate-keepers my Topbonus status on my ipad.

But, Thank you so much, flashware. That's an incredible idea. ^^

Woooowww!!! Awesome! Can we really credit the miles to A3, if we want to use *A Gold benefits through TK? Doesn't TK FF number have to appear on your BP?
But, Thank you so much, flashware. That's an incredible idea. ^^

I am ExecPlat on AA. Looking to get matched on United. Do you think this is possible?
I am fed up with AA...no upgrades. Not even the systemwide ones work. And I get on flights and see OPEN SEATS in Business and First class.
any advice is appreciated!

I have a 99% upgrade rate over the past two years.
If you aren't getting upgrades, it is likely that you don't understand how the upgrade process works.
