Congratulations to you too, lucky. Maybe I will hear something tomorrow.

Yeah :)

Seems like NW improved... The last Status match of a friend took 3 weeks.

Me too
 

I just got this email:

Dear Mr Flying Buccaneer,

Thank you for contacting Northwest Airlines in regard to upgrading your
WorldPerks account, xxxxxxxxx.

A variety of criteria, including information from your American Airlines
mileage summary, is considered when evaluating requests from members to
match elite status from another airline. After reviewing the
information provided to us on your AAdvantage account, your Northwest
WorldPerks account has been upgraded to Platinum Elite status. This
one-time complimentary membership upgrade will remain valid through
February 28, 2009.

The email went on to say that the status will be extended through the 2009 program year, as it was for skywalkerLAX and lucky9876coins.

The past few years, I have split my travel between AA and UA. I flew more on UA in 2004-2005, pretty equally in 2006, and more on AA in 2007-2008. For 2009, UA will be the odd man out, so to speak.

Congrats, FB!:)^

Let's plan some flights together for once.:D

Definitely. Of course, now that I am NW Elite, I don't see all those great fares that they always had when I wasn't interested!

What do you guys think NW would match me with? I'm BMI Gold, AA Plat, and DL Gold. My BMI and AA accounts have minimal activity this year - BMI with one roundtrip to AUS/NZ and short intra-Asia flight both in business, AA with one domestic transcon. I wouldn't be sending them anything from my DL account.

Do you think the BMI and AA cards would be enough for NW Platinum?

Will Northwest match my Platinum Elite status on Continental
 

Now that CO is leaving Skyteam, I want to switch to Northwest. Will they match my Platinum status on CO?

No firsthand experience, but I'm betting they won't match quite yet. You can give it a try, but I think it'll be a few months or maybe even a year before that happens.

What am I supposed to send NW if I would like NW to match my elite status on UA? Is the monthly My Mileage Plus Summary email OK for this purpose? Thanks.

FWIW I just sent a screen shot of my main mileage summary page when I log into my MP account, and they accepted that.

Is there an e-mail address for NW status match? I searched this thread and looked through the original post but couldn't find it. Thanks.

The one that caught my eye was the fact DL and NW are merging so you could theoretically comp to DL Plat in the future. I haven't flown a Skyteam airline since 1996 (!!) but having top tier status in all three alliances would be nice.

Nope, only fax or mail.

Hi, does anyone know about the email address for NWA's WorldPerks programme to inquiry about status match. I have emailed to [email protected] with status match request and my Star Alliance Gold as well as other elite cards but got an negative reply as below. Any tips / advices would be most appreciated! thanks a lot!!! ^

However, 75,000 Qualifying Miles or 100 Segments is necessary to receive the Platinum status for a WorldPerks account. This requirement cannot be waived.

I used the fax # in the OP.
