I sent boarding pass copies of my LATAM flight between Frankfurt and Madrid and my TK Elite Plus card a few weeks ago. Followed up on twitter last week and was told they'd respond soon. Today, I logged-in to my account and saw that I was matched to LATAM Black Status is valid until March 2019. Thanks guys for all the help

I qualified for AA EXP back in 2010 with the BOS > SFO 3x RDM and 2x EQM.
Mid 2016, AA sent me a challenge to fly 35k miles in three months to regain EXP. With that status lapsing end of year, I requested a status match to UA and am about to finish the 35k EQM needed to stay 1k through end of 2018!

When I sent mine in using the link on the deals pages of ual.com, I received an email confrmation. Of course, they used the wrong start date so I emailed them to change the start date, which they did promptly. Just finished up 36k+ 2 weeks ago, and the 2 GPU's and 1 RPU posted within days.

[email protected] is the email I used, so just remove the "_noreply" from their email notification.

Thanks. I ended up calling and, it took half an hour, but they did change my start date. I was told that the only record of a date they had was the date I submitted the request. If that's the case, why bother asking me when I want it to start. Oh well. They did manage to remove the status from my account almost instantaneously! I hope they get it back on the date it starts because I'm going to need it soon after that.
Good luck.

Any suggestions for a OneWorld status match to Emerald or Sapphire here in 2018? I matched to Air Berlin two years ago, unfortunately I was demoted to silver (Ruby), so can't really do the Iberia one. Royal Jordanian needs tickets booked... any other suggestions? I'm AA EXP, but would love to have a foreign carrier's Emerald/Sapphire status.

AA EXP to UA 1K
I submitted my request to UA on Dec 22nd and they responded on the 28th with an approval - change in status was immediately noted in my account. Like others it has the submission date not the requested date (Jan 2 for extra time). I may not ask to change it though as I am thinking of just about knocking this out with one BOS-NRT-PEK-BOS in Business for about $2200 at the end of January. Needed to travel there anyhow so it is a good fit and the PQMs are about 34,000. Will add in at least one way of my positioning flight to complete it.
