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].

Re-Match??
Hi folks,
I know its a bit odd, but is it possible to get re-machted. I had a status match with BD and CO two years ago. Possible to get another match - maybe under a new address? I have this year some *A flights so it would be useful.

AirTran Elite Status Match to Delta Silver Medallion
I just received a status match of Silver Medallion on Delta to my AirTran Elite status.
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

As I understand it, Skymiles will be the surviving program, and Worldperks is going away.
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 ?

QF to SQ?
Anyone know if SQ will match with QF for change of program? New Qantas Frequent Flyer program is laughable! I have made 2140 status credits with Qantas this year and all my travel is in First Class.
I really think it's time to put Qantas to rest and start afresh with *A, I have a large travel schedule ahead of me in December and would be willing to forefit the cancellation charge on OW for a shot at getting in with *A

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?

They did not do that in the past and I personally would wait until the break is final. But, it won't hurt to ask. Nothing to lose.

Somewhat related, but Delta is now matching Continental status, even though they are still in Sky Team. Had a friend get Delta Gold for Continental Platinum this week.

So I called up one-pass and like you mentioned they said they don't do status matches for NW or Delta...I guess I could wait or give them a try again and tell them what cerealmarketer mentioned...
