Update on the UA Status Match/Challenge
Yes, when I speak to the ICC, they say Feb 2008; when I get a 1P Agent, Feb 2009. I'd like to believe the 1P line is correct. I asked, are you certain and explained the disparities in my previous responses. She reassured that I will have status all next year by completing the 12,500 miles. I'm requalifying on CO just in case!

Dl status comp or challenge?
Does anyone know if delta is offering a straight status comp or are they still doing their version of the challenge?

Really?
I'm new to FT and now that I've lurked for about 2 weeks my wife and I are signing up for the AA Platinum challenge.
I'm flying from TPA to San Fran via (TPA-MIA-ORD-LAX-SFO-LAX-ORD-MIA-TPA] in First Class for about 1200 bucks and I'll be Platinum when I'm done, AND get the bonus miles on the flight because I become platinum WHILE FLYING it..
AA isn't soo bad..

Now this is how a Challenge/status match should work. Well done United. ^ I mean, what's the bloody point of doing a challenge/status match if you have to board in zone 6, sit in a middle seat at the back of the bus, get stuck in strange cities because you can't get on a priority waitlist for three months? That describes the AA Platinum Challenge - a highly sub-par experience IMO.
Now that's not so good.

Delta Status match
I am a Star Alliance Gold member on Aeroplan and am on my way to 100k this year. I asked for a status match and they kindly said yes they would to Gold.
Seeing as the Medallion Platinum tier is only 75k, I would really to be placed straight to that.
I know what I want and what they will give me are two different things but has anyone ever heard of Delta awarding a status match to Platinum?

United Status Match
What is the most up-to-date and fastest way to get matched to United Premier Executive? I am a US Plt and doing about 35-40k miles in the next couple of months.
Do I need to fax my details to them? Or can I e-mail? One post said to just e-mail [email protected]. Can I just do this?
Thanks!

Challenge miles must be on UA metal with UA flight numbers.
Hope this helps.

I called the UA Prem. Exec. Customer Service line and the agent told me the date is a mistake; that if I match within the 90 days I will have status through Feb 2009. I should probably call again to see if I get the same answer.
Also, your US flights will count toward the status match challenge as well:

UA is now a challenge status match. They front you up to 1P status, and then you have to fly 12.5 k miles or 15 segments to keep it. If you fail and do get 6.5 k or 6 segments (I believe these numbers are correct but please correct me if I'm wrong), then you get 2P instead. If you match now, status is good through 2009.
Challenge miles must be on UA metal with UA flight numbers.
Hope this helps.

UA Premier Exec Status Match
Is there any way around the one time status match with UA? I have US Airways Platinum status and want to move 100% of my business to them (80-90K miles a year) and they declined. They did extend a status match in 2002 (shame on me) but my wings were clipped for business travel then so I could not requalify. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
