Thanks for the reply! I gave United a call too and the operator said they changed to a new fax number:
605-343-0215

Good thing I read your message and decided to call, otherwise I might have had to wait a few weeks, thanks!

CO's FAX Number for Status Match
 
Does anyone have the Fax Number for CO where I can send in my info to get a Status match. I searched this thread found all the numbers except CO.

Thanks in advance!

Just did it today myself. 832-235-2713.

Send your most recent statement where you have status showing the level, as well as your onepass number. Include a note asking to upgrade your status to elite to match your (insert airline here) status.

I did the AA gold challenge. 10K miles and now status on two airlines! I'd have it in a few months anyway, but why wait?

Do Partner Airlines Count?
 
Sorry if it's been mentioned elsewhere, I couldn't find it... besides the fact this may appear as a stupid question.

I'm trying to figure out if CO or DL offered a challenge instead of a match, would it only count on their metal only? I am presuming yes, since it seems pretty obvious, but it would be nice if Skyteam partner flights also count.

Thanks!

I sent my details about a week ago to United by fax (520-881-4458).

Is this the wrong number now? Should I resend my proofs again?

Delta used to status match AA Gold with DL Silver but now seems to be doing challenges mostly where you have to do a certain amount of DL flying to get status.

An airline will generally upgrade your account only once -- once in an account lifetime -- with a status-match from another airline. The status match is good through at least the end of February of the following year. Some status matches will result in status that is good for more than one membership year, but that usually involves asking for a status match in the the latter part of the year.


Are the delta challenges one-time only or can they be repeated, a la AA challenges?

i was under the impression that DL doesnt have a challenge. can someone tell me the rules of the challenge, also with CO matching gold status of AA, what do you need to do, just call CO and tell them what? thanks

Read the first post in this thread. It will tell you how to do it there ;)

any info regarding delta's challenges?

Friday evening I faxed a Comp request along with my US DM#, DL GM credentials, and DL SkyMiles statements to US Air at 305-370-3513 .

I did not receive a reply, but when I checked my US account status online Tuesday around noon it now shows "Gold Preferred Member" status. ^ ^

Less than 2 business day turnaround. Some previous posts had indicated all status matches were on hold due to the merger. (Not in my case :D )

Requested DL Elite Status to Match Southwest
 
Hello folks. Last Wednesday I faxed my Southwest statement to Delta in an attempt to get elite status, or at least a challenge offer. I'm a Companion Pass flyer on Southwest. The fax number I used was 404-773-1945.

Has anyone ever tried to get Delta to match Southwest's top program? I'm just curious if I'm trying something new here. Also, what is the current estimate on response time? My request was faxed to them a week ago and I have not heard a peep out of them.

Thanks! This is a great resource.

I am thinking of comping using my AA plat (or NW GE) to get some if any status on UA. When would the best time to do so be? If I am looking to have status for the entire 2007 calendar year, when is the earliest I can request it?

tried to search for the info by reading all of this massive thread but by page 5 i started to get a headache... sorry for the duplication.
