Can I qualify for a Delta Gold Match?
FlyerTalk Experts need your opinion,
I have racked up approx 45,000 elite qualifying miles on Continental - thus I am silver and with another flight planned I plan to get to Gold before the end of 2011.
I recently moved from a city with a CO hub to a city that is a Delta Hub. I am currently Delta silver, but once I now have CO Gold it will be pretty useless based on where I live now?
Do you think i'll have a chance to get Delta to Match a CO Gold? How should I go about the request.
Thanks

FWIW, for now, CO is still accepting status matches. They just matched my Delta Platinum Medallion status to Continental Platinum. It took less than 48 hours from when I emailed the request. I still haven't received an email response but when I logged into my account tonight, it showed Platinum, and I was able to select preferred seats on an upcoming itinerary.

Not great if you are after free flights, but absolutely awesome for those who do most of their flights with a different alliance but would still like to maintain a status with *A to keep their options open.

can anyone confirm the "once in a lifetime" for getting a status match on Delta .
I hate to burn that since I really do not plan on flying Delta in 2011 , but if its not "once in a lifetime" then I would probably do it
thanks for the info

Status matches to qualify for next year
Looks like I'm too far from requalifying for UA 1P for next year.
Would it work to status match from UA to DL to CO in the next few weeks to keep my *G and premium economy seating for next year on UA?

Just got status matched from DL Diamond to CO Plat. I got my card in the mail from CO and it's only valid until 2/2011... Will I get a new one after that? It sounded like status matching late in the year meant it was valid until 2012.

Yes, you should get your 2/12 card in when they are issued in early 2011.
