Just sent an email to CO, wait and see if I can get status match.

If you are interested in getting more miles on OneWorld, then Cathay Pacific is most generous mileage program and it runs from the time you open an account with them for 12 months.
What concerns the promotions to get the miles, AA is the best bearing in mind such extras as credit card or shopping....

Hi TimG
QF does not typically status match. However, if you do the ChAAlenge for PLT on AA, you can use the QF lounges once you have it. I moved down here several years ago and have never had a problem using lounges on PLT or ExPLT status, etc... Also, AA is a much more generous program than QF in many respects. However, OF is very stingy in upgrades and other perks for non-QF flyers. Earn/Burn is much better on AA then any of the programs down here...QF evidently treats their own high status flyers fairly well, but with over 1.2m on AA, it is difficult for me to switch at this point... You can also purchase QC membership that gets you into the lounges. If you are flying Biz, then you have access anyway.... Hope that this helps. |
Hi! Probably this has been asked before. Im DC *A Gold and have some AA business class tickets booked early next year. I will like to know if there is any chance of Status Match with AA (if not which OW FF program will do so)
Thank you |
Probably not.
AA offers a paid challenge that will get you Gold for 5K EQPs and PLT for 10K EQPs (not miles) Being in J that might be a good option. see the AA forum stickies for more info. OW recently has a status match in Italy.

I'm frustrated by OneWorld because I have flown 4 transatlantic flights this year on OneWorld carriers (alas, 3 on Iberia) and a sprinkling of North America flights on AA, and I can't even make it to silver status in AAdvantage. :eek: I'm platinum on both CO and DL, so I'd love a OneWorld status match. Especially for the club access. |
Does anyone has any experience with a status match at Mexicana?
I took some flights earlier this year with them, and I'm CO Silver. More Mexico flights to come... Anyone???? |
Corporate AMEX Matches
Not sure if this was covered already, but I found out that my company will get a status match to one of our preferred airlines (e.g., UA) for holders of status on other airlines. Apparently they execute this through our corporate travel provider - AMEX in this case. Might be a good option for those of you at companies with large enough contracts with a travel provider.
I'll probably save my match from AA Platinum to something else until I'm forced to change my travel habits or have a lot of international flights on a different carrier. To pre-empt the questions, I don't know if it is the same travel matches you can get on your own -- e.g., UA elite challenge where you have to fly a certain amount in a certain time. But I sincerely hope not. I would be interested to hear if anyone else has executed this through AMEX and what was the experience... |
Has CO officially stopped matching to Platinum from UA 1K? Is it part of the *A agreement they signed? Has anyone tried and been denied? I thought I last heard someone got matched last month... :confused:

UA 1K matched on which Mexican airline?
Hi, I just qualified for 1K on UA thanks to DEQM.
In January I will have to relocate to Mexico City for 6 months for work, and will likely travel a lot in Mexico (and possibly around Central America). Which FF program should I try to get a match with? Which ones will actually grant a status match? Thanks, -SFlight |
LAN Contact Details
Hi All,
Does anyone have working details for LAN? Both the email address and fax number listed no longer exist. Cheers! |
Well, as it seems, MexicanaGo doesn't even know what the word status match means.
They E-mailed me back today, saying the don't have agreements with other airlines. Makes me wonder why one would make an agreement to "steal" customers. :eek: |
HELP!
Fellow Flyertalkers,
Anyone have correct details for LAN? Cheers SSNZ |

Makes me wonder why one would make an agreement to "steal" customers. :eek: I got status match with Mexicana GO back in September, I did it with my FB Gold. They gave me Discover Level until Feb 2011. They just ask for the copy of your current FF card and a short explanation that I just moved to Mexico and I'll be traveling a lot between MEX and SA. I have to say, that it is a very nice airline indeed. Also I've got more upgrades and perks in 3 months than 2 years with Air France. I did the same with CO 3 weeks ago and it did work (and fast). I got an answer in 4 days. Although the paperwork was bigger (the same requirements as posted in the beginning of the thread). Another nice shot, I got upgraded in my first flight (without having the card yet), CO lounge and all this stuff. Another colleague in my company told me he got the LAN status match, but he had to fight quite some time to get it. He didn't got Comodoro status (according to his explanation, LAN doesn't match to Comodoro, they match one level below). After all this, I kept one big lesson: Air France FB program is a waste of time. 2 years and more than 250K flown with them demonstrates it. |
