I had good luck getting United to match my AA Platinum status.

I emailed the following to [email protected]:

1) Scan of my AA Plat card (front only)
2) Screen shot of my January 07 statement (With not much actually on it).

Took 1 day, and they updated my status and sent a welcome email.

I find this more convenient then sending a fax...so thought i would share if someone has not already.

What did they match with? 1P or 2P?

Looking for AA PLT to be matched to European Airline

I read a that BD can be matched. If so, any info on how to contact them and with what info. Any other European airlines that do this? I will travel to Spain, Poland and Czech Republic so any status match could help!

TIA

I am new to flyer talk, I have American Platinum status, are you saying United will upgrade me to Platinum just by giving them my American info??

Welcome to FT!

No, United won't comp you to Platinum as they don't have such status. But you can ask for status match up to 1P (Premier Executive). Detailed information how it works can be found in the first post of this thread, but your chances are pretty good that they match your AA Plat. to MP 1P.

Cheers

Thanks for posting this gw04. I did exactly what you did and it also took 1 day and now I'm 1P. It's a bit ironic since I'm Plat because of a corporate status match based on my company's AA business and my prior 1k status. But I'll earn them both (Plat and at least 2p) back this year.

Just faxed a letter requesting a match and a copy of my AAdvantage card to Delta. Is that enough?

Unhappy No AA matches even for Chicago base?

Last I heard, they were outright matching status if you were based out of Chicago (even up to EXP for 1K)... this was a couple months ago, and I'm not sure if it's still going on. There's a thread buried in the AA forum somewhere... I'll see if I can find it.
Well as of this evening, AA Customer Service told me over the phone that they are only doing challenges, even if you are Chicago-based. I am 1P on UA, and was hoping to go AAGold A challenge isn't appealing right now because my travel is mostly cheaper fares ... is there a magic fax or phone number to try for a different answer?

Yes. i was forced to do challenge as well. I kept calling back to get a different answer. no luck. i faxed my info. no dice.
But if I was with a large corporation, it would have helped.

Faxed AA with my 1p membership card, a good record on my UA flight histories and with already 25k in for the calendar year, but got rejected and was offer instant Gold and Plat challenge.

Not disappointing actually. I look at it as a good sign - at least at the minumum rate that AA doesn't comp a person easily. I'll anyway qualify Plat easily this year and glad that I'll be earning 500-milers from now on.
