After two weeks, NWA comped this AA PLT to NWA Gold, but only until 2/05. Does anyone know what the status will be after 2/05? Will it be Silver until 2/06 or dirt?

This happened to me as well....after I contacted a WorldPerks supervisor via email that a match til Feb 05 would be of no benefit she extended it until Feb 06, just contact them. ^

Does anyone know which US FF programmes match British Airways Exec Club and BMI Diamond Club golds?

Has anyone done a real comparison for elite benefits lately? I am in PIT and just starting to research if I should make a switch from US next year (Chairman) to CO, DL, NW, or AA?

I really like the US upgrade policy, but there longevity makes me a little nervous..............

United will. Just make your case with the BA gold and not the * Alliance/BMI status.

I'm a UA 1K and got comped NW Gold unitl 2/05. The letter I got in the mail said that since it's so late in the year, they'll comp me another Gold level through 2/06.

Take a look at the letter you should receive in the mail. It might say the same thing it told me.

Good luck.

Last year around this time I had qualified for 1P on United with around 50K BIS and another 30K bonus EQM. I mailed my statement of to AA hoping for a comp. I was enrolled in a slightly modified plat challenge. Needless to say, I stuck with UA and still have not set foot on an AA aircraft. I wonder why I was denied. I am not a high rev passenger, so maybe that had something to do with it. This year I have 62K BIS and 40K bonus EQM. I always liked the idea of having elite on two different airlines (hedge your bet type thing) but if AA wouldn't comp me, dont know who would.

What level will United comp you to? 1K?

Generally speaking, 1P.

Yes. USAir on the other hand.... :D [Well, it won't be in business necessarily for too long.]

On the subject of US.. I'm going to finish up the year as a GP and plan to try to get UA to comp me to Premier Exec. Has anybody done this recently? Think it will work? I used to be a Premier for a number of years, and most of my travel is already on UA....

Thoughts?

Not a chance. The only *A airline that UA will comp is AC.

There might be very rare exceptions, but I don't think AA comps anyone any more - they only do challenges.

I don't mean to disagree but I personally know of two people who were recently comped to platinum to match their status with UA.

Not true
 

I recently got comped with AA (for the second time). Was comped a couple of years ago, denied last year, and now comped again. Both times its to AA Plat (for UA 1K). Haven't received card yet but AA.com shows Plat status and mileage credit for recent flights show Plat bonus.

I've been flying AA more recently, so maybe they factored that in the comp this time.
