do any of you know how long it has recently taken for the CO Gold cards to be shipped and delivered after a status match was approved?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I'm wondering if Continental is only doing Status Match for other equivalent Card Holders of US Airlines? I'm Platinum with a One world Airline in Europe.
Since I will be flying soon often to the US should I try to get a match by One Pass?
Thanks for any feedback.
Kind regards,

Continental seems to be matching to one tier lower than the submitted one now. I took care of all the 'paperwork' for my brother and father, my brother was immediately matched from DL Gold to CO*G on June 3. My dad however, whose request I sent on June 9 or so, was granted CO*S at first. I then replied, since my dad also has an LH FTL and another *S does not really offer any more benefits, some ten minutes later status changed to CO*G ^ So watch out and be persistent maybe

BMI will only match BA elite
I tried to email my CX gold card & travel statement to BD and after 7 days, they replied the following 
Anyone get matched with non-BA elite?
Unfortunately we do not offer status match for any other carrier other than BA, If you have a gold card with BA we would be able to offer you a status match.

CO Match
With the impending merger, elites get itchy and test new waters.
These loyal customers need to be replaced as they are burned up !
I would think both United and Continental are aggressively matching status since certain merger turbulence will result in losing some loyal flyers.
Like sharks, the other airlines will be will more than happy to get customers who spend with them.
This also explains why customers service is throwing money at anyone who complains about anything
Just home somewhere sometime, they actually improve some things; especially the Lounges.

tried status matching to lan from bmi and got this "We inform you that at this moment, LAN Airlines is not considering Status Match for Star Alliance or Sky Team frequent flyer member’s.
We advise you to call at any of the phone numbers listed below by selecting our LANPASS option from the menu. Our Contact Center representatives will be willing to help you in any other matter."
it seems theyre not matching at the moment.
anyone recently matched to cx from bmi? (i'm trying to get a ow match, and soon)

Just matched CO Plat. from DL Plat.
Not sure when it expires, though. Any idea how I find this out? Thanks.

I was recently status match on United to Premier Executive from my Delta Platinum Medallion. Challenge for me is to either fly 15k EQMs or 20 segments on United metal which shouldn't be a problem since I recently took one transcontinental run and have two trips which should net me about 4k EQMs each.
My question is when I qualify and get my Premier Executive card from United, will I only keep the status until Feb 2011 or until 2012? I'm assuming it is basically like qualifying like normal though with a lower bar in this case.
