Wow, what did you have to show to get matched to Premier? Just VS Silver card, or mileage summary also? Did you just email UA MP support?
With the current UA 3x EQM promo, this sounds like an easy way to make 2P for the next year and a half. Is there a UA 3x EQM promo? |

"I matched my 2 year old from DL Silver to CO Silver today. Gotta love it."
Fast forward 27 years, and Gree0411 Jr. Moves from Dallas to to Newark for a new job. He emails CONited to get his Exec plat matched to plat, only to be told that status matching is a one time deal... and his dad wasted it on silver ;-) |

Based on my recent experience (see my post on page 63), DL is now matching to 2/2012.

You should decide based on:
1. Which airport is more comfortable for you? For example, if you live next to JFK, opt for DL. If LGA is also comfortable for you, choose DL because LGA is one of their Focus Cities. 2. DL only matches until GOLD. I contacted them this week, told them that I have LY Plat, LH Senator, BD Gold & BA Gold and asked for Plat. They told me no, only Gold. However, CO will give you Plat. 3. What destination do you intend to fly to/from NYC. For example - if you intend to fly BOS a lot, then opt for CO, as DL only operates regional jets on the JFK/LGA-BOS route. If you intend to fly MCO a lot then go for DL as they have flights from both LGA&JFK. If you intend to fly to PHX go for CO as DL only operates 1 daily JFK-PHX while CO operates 4 daily EWR-PHX, US 3 daily EWR-PHX & 3 daily JFK-PHX. 4. DL only matches until Feb 2011! I guess convenience is typically a secondary concern for us heavy travelers... Why else do MRs etc? If one is willing to fly via NYC on way from LAX to SEA, little extra driving to get to EWR instead of JFK/LGA is a small price to pay. I am more concerned about upgrade potential. Guess is that DL Gold is pretty oiut of luck most of time on upgrades from heave Plat airports like LGA and JFK. CO Plat should have more luck I assume. Also longer period of status is attractive |
Hi,
Does anyone know of an email address to which I can request the status match via Delta Airways? Thank you |

If it doesn't matter whether you will fly from LGA/JFK/EWR, then go for CO. |
Anyone has had success matching to LAN lately? Does the Match come with the Upgrade vouchers (if not matched to Comodoro right away) ?

Did one last week, applied on 7/1 they gave me Gold thru 2/2012 today.
Given that I'm UA 1K, I would have liked Platinum, notwithstanding the commenstary throughout this thread telling me I'll only get Gold. Thanks! |
Do you know what CO would status match to AA EXP? And when expiration is for status match? Thanks!
|
Hello - just a few questions:
1. If I status match to UA right now, when will the status expire? 2. To get 1K, will I have to go do another 100K or just 50K (AC*SE to UA*1P)? Thanks, jlisi984 |
1. 2/2012
2. yes. By the way, UA might be reluctant to offer status match to another *A member. In that case, you might need to match to another non-*A program first as "connection"

Welcome to FT!
I believe your idea may not yield the result you're looking for. Typically, the airline doing the matching will also want to see a sufficient amount of previous travel, not just a quick promo that got you to the competing airlines elite status. You will need to submit last year's travel history in addition to a copy of your elite card. That said, it never hurts; except the money you may be spending for the "temporary" elite status on US. Good luck! The broader question is: can one get another airline to provide silver status as a match to US Airways Silver Preferred Status obtained for the 90-day trial period? With the recent "hop, skip, and jump" promotion, for some it is also much easier to get or retain gold, platinum, or CP status on US than any other airline. Does that impact the willingness of other airlines to status match US? |
What number are you using to fax into delta. I tried the one on the initial post and it didnt pick up.
Also is there someone to talk to speed things up, as I have a flight next week. Thanks |
AirBerlin Status Match
Hi,
Here is more info about AirBerlin status matches, which can be added to the main post. AB will only match FTLs & SENs of Miles and More. As a Senator of Miles and More I got the following mail in response for my status match request:
