Just asking one more time:
Has anyone received a status match from Delta? I sent in a request last week asking for a match to my CO gold, still no response. I see many responses from people who received matches from CO, NW, UA, etc. but no DL.
Anyone out there get lucky with DL, if so, how long did it take?
Thanks.

I received a status match from United to Delta (Silver to Silver) last November. I faxed in my statements and kept checking Delta's website until it appeared about 3 weeks later. I received the welcome packet and documents about a month later.

Just received an email from NWA World Perks regarding my status match request from about 5 or 6 weeks ago. They matched my United Global Services (and 1K status) to Gold. That’s pretty useless since I’m already Delta Gold Medallion. I wanted Platinum, like others have received. Why the change?

I am new here but would like to ask a question. If I am doing this wrong, please tell me. What status allows you lounge access on domestic flights?

To access AA lounges on US domestic trips, you need mid-tier (Sapphire) level status on OneWorld airlines other than AA (e.g. Qantas Gold).
I'm not sure whether Skyteam Elite+ on non-US airlines gets you CRC access on domestic US legs with Delta.

Delta matches CO- UPDATE
Well, it only took 6 business days. I checked my DL account online and my status has been changed to GM. They matched my CO gold elite. No email confirmation, but I guess I will get the new card soon. I'm guessing it will be for the entire 2009 program, at least I hope so.
Thanks to all for the suggestions and support.

My account online reflects the gold status, but I don't see anything that reflects how long the status is good for. That info is not reflected in my account info. I'm sure they granted it through 2/10.

Well... no response from NWA yet, and my online account isn't updated.
Should I be worried? I'm wondering if I should fax the information instead.

This is how DL does it. And since DL got a hold of NW, DL has finally gotten around to make NW "harmonize" to DL's standard of generally refusing status matches to Platinum.
