I received a gold status match from Delta on Feb 8. My account is updated with the GM status, but still no card. Just wondering how long it takes before I get my 2009 GM card.
Does anyone have the 2009 card yet? I got my CO gold card two weeks ago. Just wondering when Delta sends them out.

Looking for some input to see if there is an email address or number to call NW to see if they can speed up the process for status match (faxed a week ago). Got a couple of transpacs in 3 weeks and I would hate to not get 2x RDM

LAN will eventually contact but it takes time. Mine took five+ reminder emails and five weeks to complete.

Based on my experience (and others who were successful), your LAN status match request success will be based on one important factor:

Evidence (in flight reservations) that shows LAN that you are (and will) fly with them post status match. Of course, you need to provide evidence on your current status with another airline (equivalent to what you are requesting for status at LAN) and flight history. I'd think that sending a newly status matched status from Delta or NW or UA with no history of flights won't work.

So, in short, with your status at another airline (competitor) and future reservations with LAN (PNR), you can be certain that LAN will match your status (of course, it does take time, but some people have been lucky that the waiting period was shorter than mine).

Hope this helps.

Got first match from CSA Ok Plus Gold to NWA Silver, then wrote back, now its NWA Gold. Took about 2 weeks to complete.

LY update:
Currently (March/09) running a promo where you get 1:1 matching (plat to plat etc) PLUS bonus points PLUS if you earn enough points you get more bonus points.
I was only able to found a link to the Hebrew page: http://www.elal.co.il/ELAL/Hebrew/Ma.../he_gift160209

HTH someone.

Translation ?

Anyone have phone number or email address where to contact Delta re status of a Status Match?

The fax number is in the first post, but I would also like to know if there is an email address. I sent a fax last week and have not heard anything yet, so I would like to follow up with an email.

DL updates their Medallion system on Friday night/Saturday morning. Check your SkyMiles account on Saturday to see if there's been any change. If not, send DL an email via the contact link on the homepage.

Top Plat will get LY top plat + 500 points.
Plat will get LY plat for 6 month + 300 points
Gold -> LY Gold + 200 points

After 6 months:
top plat that made 4000 points will get 300 points + top plat status for another year
plat that made 2000 points will get 200 + extension
gold that made 750 will get 100 + extension

To get those benefits call +972-3-6217789 or +972-3-6217790.

If you're not yet LY Matmid member and you flew with either British Airways, Turkish Airlines, Continental , Delta or LH more then twice, you can be eligible to free registration directly to LY silver + 100 points, and after 6 month, if you made 400 points, you get 100 bonus + extension.

Same phone number to register.

The number is on back of my card. So it is on back of yours too.

El Al will stop matching status by March 10th.
By the way - the upgrade into the same tier as the other airline.

You dont have to requalify as usual. They challange you.
For Example: If you match towards GOLD status, you will have to gain 750 points within 6 month in order to get the status for 1 more year.

Then in order to requalify to gold in the year after completing the challange, tou will have to gain 1800 points as usual.

Hey luv2,

Did you get your match? I sent in mine about a week ago and just called the main Worldperks service number, spoke with a rep and she called someone to track it. She said they had everything they needed and it would take up to 4 weeks. The last person I talked to said 14 business days . I love that, even thought everyone on this forum knows all about it, it's still for the most part a super-secret-squirrel process. ^ I have a flight to Nicaragua on Friday... I sure am hoping they match me by then!

I submited mine on Last thursday and will see how long it takes to get it updated. Hopefully it does not take the whole 4 weeks.

I will keep you updated on the status. Please let me know when yours gets approved also.

TA DAAAAA. Got my confirmation email today. One week total time. NWA rocks. ^^
