Delta Status Match Fax
Try 404-773-1945
I faxed my US CP card and NW Gold Card and was comped to Gold Medallion. Took about a week though to update my status online.

Delta Status Match
Delta matched my status without me providing any flight activity. A copy of my US CP was all I needed for a match to Gold Medallion.

For those wanting a good laugh...
I just sent polite faxes to AA and Hilton requesting status match for UA 1K and Marriott Platinum respectively. I did mention that I was not interested in doing a challenge of any type unless it was a reversible type proposition - i.e., extend me status for the challenge period. If I meet the requirements of the challenge, allow me to retain said status. If not, remove it. I don't think they are going to go for it, but I don't particularly want to give up my benefits on UA and w/ Marriott.

I faxed CO to match my new AA Plat (Thorugh challenge.) I got email respobse within the hour requesting that I fax them my AA card. I will only get the card itself within 6-8 weeks (according to AA) but I fly coast to coast weekly. I do have the statement saying that I'm Plat but CO say it's not enough. Any way around this?

What is the fax number for Continental Status Match?
Hi! I'd like to use my AA Platinum to get a status match from Continental. Does anyone know what the most up-to-date fax number for elite status match is?
Thanks!
Kristin
Thanks!

Would UA status match to 1P on the basis of CO Gold even though one already has a 2P status on UA? That is, does having some elite status already on UA exclude the possibility of getting a status match to a higher level on UA? My wife (a UA 2P) has significant international travel planned for this year and if UA will status match to 1P, she is likely to focus more on UA than CO. I suspect that it is worth trying but can anyone with the relevant experience please advise?

AA to DL match strategy
I'm currently Plat on AA and flew 90,000 miles last yr. DL is one of my backups and I flew 20,000 on them last year. Given the distribution of my clients I should easily do 25,000 DL miles this year. However, 50,000 miles would be a stretch as I plan to keep AA as my primary.
Am I better off requesting match to DL Silver or Gold? I know that Gold is higher status, but if I get matched to Silver, and then fly 25K miles, could I do a match again at some time in the future (in case I decide to dump AA for DL)?

Why are you requesting a DL match? Your profile says DL Gold.
