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.
