I used my Skyteam Elite+ to match.

Worth a try anyway.

Actually AS has been fairly picky about not matching "unearned" status. Whether they decipher it from your submitted mileage statement, your Recent AS history, or have other mechanisms I don't know. But there have been a number of reported rejections for matching status that was not earned through flying (including one of my family members :p ).

Yes, I'd suggest it's not verified by other airlines, however plenty of airlines request statements before status matches

Yes they are very picky :) also they are strict on the once in a lifetime rule as I tried to rematch after I had foolishly burned my match years ago when I did not fly alot. Now that I average 150-200k a year paid travel they no longer would match so I had to stick with AA :D so again people make sure you match when the potential benefits are the best for you as you may NOT get a second chance :D


But my point was merrly that I doubt other airlines would tell AS anything. Most likely they know whos matching who and ask for statements if they suspect matches :)


smart. I really do like the way AS works I just Wish they offered a challenge to those previously matched later :) wishful thinking I know :)

They matched my Northwest status to Gold back in 2005 and I never re-qualified with AS. In 2013 I got so fed up with DL, I asked AS if they would make an exception because I had moved back to Seattle, and had become so fed up with DL. They agreed to match my DL gold to MVP again. I guess it depends on your story and who you get to speak to?

That is very true! I allready had enough premium fare travel booked to qualify for MVPG75 but since its 100% partner miles I guess they just didnt care :) I am based internationally so the AS partners made sense for me but I am just not willing to start from scratch so will settle with AA :) had I moved back to USA theb perhaps they would have been more accepting :)

Bottom line: MileagePlan will be overly generous and accommodating if you speak to them and explain your circumstances. They have the best customer service out of any US airline, hands down.

I second it

I will send them a second email and well see :) 😂👍 allways worth a shot :)
