Thanks guys. Just emailed AS to match my DL silver.

EDIT: email won't go through... Is it my phone or is there a typo in the OP that says mileage.plan@alaskaair.com

No typo, that's the exact address I used.

Just did a status match to AS from UA and had no issues, they gave me MVP Gold for UA MP Premier Executive and it took about 4-5 days for them to respond to my email.

Hi all!

How do I request a status much from my DL Silver? Do I tell AS that I want to begin flying them or something, or I just ask them if they can my status, period?

Thanks!

From the Aegean gold thread:

anyone on the forum tried to status match to Aegean?

Yes tried last yr, was told that since its that easy to reach status they don't offer matches

You r farmishing the yoitzres!!!

Aegean won't match from OW or ST !! But I don't see why Alaska shouldn't match from Aegean!!!

Will Alaska Air status help you on any other OW airlines? or is it just AA? what about Qantas?

btw you need to email elite.flyer@alaskaair.com

you need to include
a snapshot of your screen from kingfisher for example, your card front and back (i didnt do that), and license

Thanks for your updates. Did your screen shot only show your "welcome miles" and no other activity? Did you have any concern that they'd see your registration date and know that you got the status for free. BTW, I never received a card in the mail, did you?

Thanks
