If you only want the One World benefits, then the answer is no, (unless your AB gold runs out soon, and qantas will give you a full year gold). However if you think you will be flying qantas themselves, they have extra benefits for their own gold customers which can be seen here

I sent a Status Match form and documentation to American a month ago and never received a reply.
Does a lack of reply mean the application is rejected? Or should I assume they lost email and resubmit?

Not sure if you meant that they no longer match status (my firm was provided a status match form with specific instructions for applying for 2015 status matches and I received an auto generated email from American providing instructions for uploading my UA mileage statement) or if you meant that my application was rejected.

I called american airlines asking for status match, they told me they do not match nbut they have fast track, you pay a fee of around 140 USD, they enroll you for a fast track of earning 5000 pints or something like that, they make you gold etc.

I seem to remember seeing somewhere that your current gold card needs 3 months of validity, but i think that might have been Air Berlin. Don't remember.

Many thanks.
Which card do I have to use (in your opinion) between AB (no flights), A3 (Flights until november but not received the card yet), EY (flights in business in Jan)?

As for corporate matches, which you did not state earlier was your scenario, I don't know. I do know UA has a corporate status match, which I received last year. It appears AA should have one too if your firm has a form.

I'm afraid the only option would be to use the A3 gold. Turkish have a rule that they only match One World Emerald status (Air Berlin platinum) , Skyteam elite plus, and Star Alliance gold - and only A3 would match these criteria. You should take a screen shot showing your gold status, and send it in the online form as an attachment.

Switching from *A to OW (BA or QR, not decided yet) later this summer, so having OW status from the very beginning will be nice.
