Status Match Help
I am a Star Alliance Gold (top tier on UA / 1K). I will be flying Cathay over the next 2 months 2-3 Transpacs, and would like to carry status to use lounges and other amenities.
I currently have mileage accounts (no status on OW)
CX - 0 miles
BA - 110,000 miles
AA - 20,000 miles
QZ - 0 miles
So it would seem as though I would want to see if I could do a status match on BA or AA.
One critical issue is, I would like to have status operational by Sept 5.
Any thoughts/suggestions? Who do I contact?

Please note that CX strictly matches only up to Silver status (except company or targeted status matches) for whatever status (whether its UA 1K or 2P) - although it still offers a good range (priority check-in / boarding / baggage handling and lounge access) of benefits despite being the lowest tier.
BA does not match while AA only gives challenges (for flying AA-coded flights only). CX would be your best choice. They may consider matching to Gold under special circumstances.
