TG to UA
 

Sorry if this information is elsewhere on the thread but I couldn't find it...
I am TG Gold and will be flying a great deal on UA in the next few months...sigh.
Is it possible/beneficial to try and attain comp status on UA?

US only matched my UA 1K status with US Plat a few months ago. :td:

Any one have a phone number I can call at DL? I faxed in 2 weeks ago, no word. I'd like to follow up. Thanks

Has anyone got the fax number of US Airways to send status match info to.. as i have looked through this thred and cannot find a number... thanks !! :)

UA Brazil Promotion
 

Has anyone had any experience with the UA status match offered through the Star Alliance Brazil promotion? It involves taking your most recent statement from another program that reflects your elite status and faxing it to a number in Sao Paulo (55 11 3284-6589).

I actually did this before searching on FT, and now I realize it may have been wiser to use the US fax number or the e-mail address mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

I would suggest you fax the US number, in addition, in order to get a faster response.

They normally will e-mail you confirmation of your status match to your UA MP profile e-mail address.

Thanks. I think I'll do this. I'm trying to avoid being in E- for a transpac in May.

DL Status Match timing
 

I spoke to Skymiles today. They said that the Status Match sends a letter with their decision three weeks from the date they receive a fax request. The rep I spoke to didn't know of any way to expedite this process

Yes, and it worked perfectly ^

I sent the docs (last statement & copy of RG card) and less than 48 hours I received an e-mail from UA confirming the status match. :)

Okay,... so as with delta, it will take too long to get me status, I tried Continental: in less than 24 hours after the fax was sent, I received it! ^ CO! Well, skyteam elite... not worth much, but a good start
(was matching from LH M&M).

Btw, what status do you hold on LH, for us to understand how they comped you?

I just checked the onepass page, and amazingly, only Plats get partner lounge access? :confused: Is this true??

Just got CO to match AA Platinum with their Gold. Took them < 3 hours to match but they did request a copy of the actual AA membership card.

When are matches valid for the following year?
 

I'm currently AA Platinum, expires 02/08. I hope to use matches to parley this into mid-level status with various airlines for as long as possible. Thus, I need to request matches after the mid-year dates (the date after which a match is granted for the ENTIRE following year).

1. In what order should I do this (e.g., UA the first year, DL the next, then BD, etc.?)

2. What are the mid-year dates for programs that commonly match?

3. Are there programs that commonly match, but with only the same expiration date as the matched status, regardless of when the match is granted?

I've searched the thread, and while this topic has come up sporadically, it's never been clearly answered. Thanks.

I thank the posters for this very informative thread. I just got my status match on Continental from no status to Platinum. I sent a bunch of stuff in so I'm not sure what did it. Unfortunately I went from NWA Silver to nada, from UA Premier Exec to nada and dropped from US CP to Platinum, although my tickets all this week are still showing CP. The US computers are still screwed up.

Emailed CO requesting status match to BA gold they sent back an email saying that this needs to be done via regular mail. So last week I mailed them my request along with a copy of my BA statement and card as requuested. Today my CO online account shows me as gold.

Am not trying to be pushy here but I recently moved to the States from London where I used to fly with BA "alot". I was a gold memeber with BA nearly 4 times over and was really hoping for CO to make me a platinum rather then gold. Is there anything I can do? Should I send them another letter?
