From CO Gold Elite to UA ???

So I faxed in my request for a UA status match based on my CO Gold status on 3/7/07 (to fax 605-341-6140) and I also emailed the same request to UA on 3/9/07 (to [email protected]).

I haven't heard anything back yet (and I realize that I'm very impatient) ... but how quickly does UA normally respond to these requests?

Any experience out there on how UA matches CO Gold elite? To 1P or 2P?

Thanks!

UA should match to Premier Executive, 1P. Sorry, not sure how long it will take.

Thanks, I'll cross my fingers and hope for a quick response.

I've already got some 22k+ mi racked up on MP, but I was hoping to catch the 100% RDM bonus and *G lounge access on an upcoming UA/SK trip IAH-OSL in late March. (at the end of which I will be 2P anyways...)

You don't. Only on UA and US flights, as well as transatlantic LH flights.

Right....that's what I thought....

Now that LH is *not* allowing us to use the UA code-share, SK-metal flight on Q class (or any other class, might I add!) on their tickets, EWR-CPH, I thought maybe something had changed in favor of UA's MP program...

Thanks for the clarification.

When is the best time to get matched?

I would like to have my Alitalia Gold Status (SkyTeam Elite Plus) matched with United.

When is the best time to get the maximum out of it? In other words; when is the earliest possible month if I want to have my future United gold status valid until Feb 2009?

After emailing my status match request to [email protected] on 3/9/07 I got the reply back tonight granting me Premier Executive status with UA through Feb-08. (UA matched my CO Gold Elite)^
Took only 3 working days ^

^

The credentials will be mailed in 4-6 weeks so I'm hoping *A lounge dragons will accept the email/web-site print out in the meantime...

:-: Thanks to everyone for all the help provided in this thread!:-:

UA might have a cut-off sometime late in '07 where they will grant status through Feb-09, but I don't know that they have a publisized date for this. Maybe others have specific examples.

*A Status Match - US to UA

Thanks to you fine folks, I emailed PremierMatch with my DM Silver card and flight history and got UA Premier with 5 days.

This forum (and thread) rocks.

Does anyone know if there are other email addresses for Delta, CO, etc that are similar to PremierMatch? Thus far I have only seen fax numbers.....

i sent in a fax with my AA platinum card + flights for the past 3 months to US Airways about 2 weeks ago, but have heard nothing back from them. I am mainly interested in them, because my business travel is between DFW >> PHX, and America West also has flights that would fit my schedule. Does anyone know how long it takes to get back to me about this?
