Does US Airways do a status match?

skywalkerLAX

No, but they offer you status for sale instead. Not sure about the numbers but I had a good laugh !

Below is my inital email to Frontier and there response for status match:

R,

Good to hear from you. We're happy to help. We do not have any status matching at this time. Our EarlyReturns® elite levels are the most attainable in the industry. And, like most airlines, they are based on actual flown miles not accumulated totals, partner or bonus miles. In order to maintain your status, you’ll need to fly 15,000 miles for Ascent status and 25,000 miles for Summit status. Although we lay out even more detail on our website, www.FrontierAirlines.com, here’s an overview of what our elite levels offer you:

Ascent level benefits begin at 15,000 flight miles or 25 flight segments or $60,000.00 in Frontier MasterCard® purchases in 12 credit card statement cycles (January-December statements)*:

Free DIRECTV® service
25% mileage bonus on Frontier flights
Priority check-in and boarding
Preferred seating assignments
Priority lines at most airport security checkpoints
Exclusive Ascent line toll free number
Special Frontier and partner program offers
Complimentary 1st and 2nd checked bag**
Summit level benefits begin at 25,000 flight miles or 40 flight segments:

Summit level benefits include all of the above Ascent level benefits plus the following additional benefits:
50% mileage bonus on Frontier flights
Exclusive Summit line toll free number
No standby fees
No $100.00 reservation change fees
Free in-flight cocktails

Frontier Airlines:

I am currently a Platinum Elite member (~113,000 mile in 2008) with Northwest and am interested in shifting some of my business to your airline. I frequently travel west for work to some of the cities you service including San Francisco, Orange County, Seattle, and Boise to name a few. Late last year, I did fly on Frontier and was pleasantly surprised with the service and accommodations on your airplanes.

Please let me know if you offer a status match program and if so what are the steps I need to take to get my status matched.

Thanks

I can't photocopy or scan my DL platinum card. It's too dark for any info to show up. Any one has the same problem? Will sending a digital picture of the card to them acceptable?

Exleftseat

Usually they wil not accept attachments ( fear of virus ). So why not print out your digital photo and fax that?

Hi all,

I have the dubious pleasure of being FB Platinum and am looking to get out as fast as Concorde used to take off.

I am looking for a comp to *, which airlines would match ?
I mainly flywithin Europe and 5/6 times a year across the pond with the odd Asia trip once or twice a year.

Thanks

BMI Diamond Club would seem to be a fairly safe bet........

Heaps of information on here. Requests can be sent to diamond dot club at flybmi dot com. Takes up to a few weeks. See the first post in this thread for all the details.

CX does not usually status match! Consider yourself lucky.

Taking a trip on DL in two days (with a return in 5 days). I'm CO platinum and AA gold but would like to get a status match on DL or NW (if it's possible to get in 48 hours) and be able to use status on this trip -- among other benefits, would like the baggage allowance (if DL honors it from NW elites, since they don't w/ other partners).

Going forward, obviously will be good to maintain a Sky Team elite membership after CO moves to *A.

Any suggestions as to which airline to approach? Key factors/questions seem to be:
--which of DL or NW is more likely to do a quick match?
--are both matches a once in a lifetime deal? I presume that if I do DL, then I can't do it again when programs merge but if I do NW, I can have a chance at DL later since it will be Skymiles that survies -- anyone agree with that logic?
--Does DL give baggage allowance to NW elite?
--Does DL give other benefits (like upgrades, etc.) to NW elites?
--NW match would probably be platinum and DL would be gold, right?

Would appreciate any insights and advice? Planning to fax to one in a couple of hours to give as much time as possible.

Thanks.

Dont hold your breath for 2 days... I would say no dice !

What do you expect from DL elite that you dont get as CO Platinum (Elite Plus)?

TommyC80

Does anyone know what status CO will give UA Premier Associate?

WalruSara

I requested on Monday and today (Wednesday), I got the following email... Thanks to all for the information in this thread. I sent them my mileage statement for AA, a copy of my card, and a letter requesting the match.

Time to get flying!

A kick in the ...

Kidding... honestly I dont know if they will anything at all as this is not achieved by the traveller in question so doesnt show any signinficant business value for any airline.

You never know though !
