"CO & NW don't normally match eachother because of the alliance..."

Unfortunately, I know that is the case. I was wondering though if I could use the transitive property. Hope to one non-One Pass airline and then hop to NW from them. Is that possible?

Not sure that it would work thegeneral. Usually they require a faxed statement and card - not just the card. Unless you have a lot of upcoming travel planned on your "hop-to" airline...I doubt they'd comp status. YMMV though.

Check with your corporate travel office...

AA does status matches up to Platinum for our company w/ equivalent credentials, no challenge required.

Chris, good point, but the new year is coming up and I do have a little AA mileage in an account. I'm not sure they would be able to know the difference.

Actually, this number died earlier this week, according to the MP service center.

The new new valid fax number is 605-341-6140.

It works; I just faxed my 10 pages of supporting documents without a hitch.

Has anyone heard of any challenges on CO/NW lately for Gold/Plat status? ;)

FYI -- Sent my request Friday afternoon (ET); received my 1P match e-mail Monday morning. ^

Faxed my AA EXP statement over early last week. Granted PremEx today. :cool:

Got a CO Platinum match from US Airways CP in a couple of hours ^

Yesterday I received the plastic card and the elite kit. The card expires in
Feb 07. Shouldn't it expire in 2008?

Thanks!

Same thing happened to me this week when the card arrived. The letter indicating status til year end and the card indicating status thru Feb. When I did this for NWA, the status grant included all of the next year.

On another note I am currently enjoying my first SPG plat suite upgrade (in Mexico) as a result of the status match from Marriott Plat.

mrs psyflyer got matched to CO Gold from AA Plat in 10mins after fax!!!
Sent in the fax (thanks post #429) and just logged in and she is gold... damn!

Now All i need to do is apply her for the Chase card, open up an SPG card for her and one of the 3 r/t CO Y fares, its on the mrs.... Cheers folks.

Delta question
 

hey all :)

regarding the delta "challenges" to match, is the status bonus then given posthumously to all the miles flown to meet the challenge requirement? exaxmple: i am about to fly 25k eqms this month and therefore would meet any challenge for Gold Medallion status delta will request of me; will delta then go back and give me the Gold Medallion bonus (100%) on the 25 k miles i had just flown? thanks!!

While anything is possible, in my several, frustrating experiences with Delta status matches for various people, DREAM ON!

lol...i'll take that as a no :)

Well, sometimes these airlines WILL surprise you. In fact, Delta has surpised me several times in a row. All bad surprises though...
