FlyerTalkers,
what is the typical time people have seen for CO to process and award a status match? I have read through here and most look like a day or two, I submitted almost a week ago, got a confirmation # via email that they received my email and nothing else since. Does it help or hurt to re-email them to check on the status of the request?
Thanks
Jeff

I've been waiting about a week now. I got the confirmation email but heard nothing since...

Hi, I am CO Platinum, and requested Elite Match on DL, which they were very quick to match, I sent them the request via Fax on Thursday and by Tuesday I was upgraded (no letter just logged into DL account).
So the Question is, how long will my match status run?
I was matched to DL Platinum as well, since its November 15th, I am hoping it to run till the end of 2011 so I can re up to platinum for the next year.
Does anyone have a similiar experience or know?
Thanks.

Yes and Yes. However, UA seats are not wider, they merely have 4"-6" more legroom.

Apparently, as I did the same and the card reads 2/11. However, the email I received said it is valid thru 2/12 and I used it at an RCC (before the recent rule change so CO PLT doesn't get RCC access for merely domestic trips??) and the agent said I was PLT thru 2/12, after scanning my card.

bmi Gold match from AA EXP
bmi matched my AA EXP to Gold, though I was already bmi Silver due to a previous promo. Emailed the address on page one of this thread, sent a pdf of my AA card and statement. No mention of any bmi flight required. My online stmt reflects Gold status for one year. All done in less than 24 hours. And it got me into the RCC at ORD today.

AS matched me to MVP Gold after a short email and copy of my card. Thanks AS!
Looking forward to flying with AS in Jan 2011.

CO 100k> Should I status match on UA?
I know that the two programs will merge in 2012. But for 2011, should I (or should I say can I), status match my CO 100K for UA 1K? Thanks
