However, after 10,000 miles worth of flights posted (which were all flown on LUT fares), my Gold status appeared.
I'm not sure if the challenge is still being offered...

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

)I'm thinking about waiting until July 1, so that the status will last until 2/28/08 (IIRC, that's how AA does it). Anyone know about this for US?

I just recieved a match from Delta no questions asked! I'm so excited. I'm American Gold status and live in Miami. However i'm starting to travel to BHM weekly and DL is my best option. I faxed them my AA print out and requested silver status to switch loyalties and within 48 hours - there it was!! i'm so excited. I didn't know I could even possibly do that until finding this board a few days ago.

Anybody know for sure if there is a mid-year date in 2006 beyond which if you are granted a status match on UA, your status will remain until Feb. 2008?? I believe with the AA challenges, if you do your challenge beyond
a certain July date, your new status will remain until a year from the following

Since it is on the US Air website here http://usairways.custhelp.com/cgi-bi...hp?p_faqid=363 I assume that US Air is still matching.
For US, how late in this year do I have to match to make the US Status Match good until February 2008?

Does anyone have the cutoff date for NW status match to be good through all of 2007? I historically fly a lot early year, and dont want to status match now if I will only be PE until 2/2007. I will requalify next year, but want to include the whole year. Thanks....a FORMER us flyer!

Is Delta still offering elite challenges (a la AA)?
I ask specifically because I will be travelling to Israel, Singapore, and Australia this summer, which if not covered by Delta will be covered by Delta partners.
I called Delta Skymiles center, spent about 15 minutes talking to someone in India who kept trying to get me to purchase a ticket ("I'm not interested in a reservation, I'm calling about a CHALLENGE TO ELITE STATUS" -- "What departure city?" --- AGH), before finally getting transferred to a US Call Center, spending another 30 minutes on hold and then being told that there is no challenge program. Incidentally, I did mention I was a United Premier.
I was offered to get my status matched, however I'm more interested in a challenge because I will be flying well over 10,000 miles --> Gold Elite versus Silver Elite by a 2P United Match.
