Transfer Status
 
I currently have Air Canada 50K status and just moved to Chicago. While Star Alliance recognizes me as gold status for United flights, I cannot get seat selection or upgrades. United status challenges do not include Star Alliance affiliates. How do I transfer my status to United?

You could try matching to a non-*A airline, then matching back to United, but that might take longer than just earning status on United through normal means.

Basically, you can't.

Match with AB Topbonus (very fast process) ,you might need to show one booking with them. Match newly acquired Topbonus status to United.
