Thanks for the link. Just wanted to make sure that's still the case. If any mod reads this, the CO fax is no longer in service. I'm planning to just send my credentials to [email protected].

I mailed mine to the address in the first thread and received an email from them matching me within a week.

I thought the date to maximize matched status time was July 1 for pretty much everyone... i.e. match on July 1 '08 gets you 20 months, 07/08 - 02/10.

I faxed a letter to 404-773-1945 stating my case.

I also put together a spread sheet for my AirTran flights over the last 12 months and calculated the Delta equivalent of miles which came to about 56000.

I also stated in the letter that I already had 12000 MQMs on Delta so far this year and had several more flights booked.

It only took one day for the match and it showed me as Silver when I logged in. (I didn't receive any email notification).

What was faxed:
Letter
AirTran Elite Card Copy
Delta SkyMiles Card Copy
Current Delta Statement printed from the Web
Current AirTran Statement printed from the Web
Spreadsheet of previous 12 months of AirTran flights with their Delta mile equivalent

So, I'm wondering if asking for an NW status match this fall might be a way to get a "free" status match. Presumably NW status will be grandfathered into Skymiles, but I'm thinking that thsi might not count as having burned the "one time" match for a possible future Delta match.

Of course there is no way to know for sure, and so it would be a gamble. Earlier this year I switched much of my flying to AS & UA. My CO status (earned mainly on BR & VS) has gotten my UGs on NW when flying NW was convenient - but presumably that arrangement will disappear with the merger, and it looks like CO will be out of ST soon as well.

So, I'm thinking that going for an NW match through 2/2010 later in the year may be worth the gamble - get a few MW/DL UGs next year, and hopefully be able to do a "New DL" match "for real" some time down the road of I ever wanted to switch from UA.

Thoughts ?

I agree completely with your analysis. As you noted, there is no guarantee, but because there is little downside even if it doesn't work as we think it will, I say you should go for it!

Does anyone know if CO would match my NW status? I know they are partners but in the light of the recent changes I would like to move from WorldPerks to OnePass?
