Booked my first flight just now. Received platinum from a Mosaic match.

Immediate upgrade to comfort and standby to first.

Would have been cheaper and better seats on JetBlue, but need to start my challenge...

A companion?
Do they know AA EXP and United Plat can bring everyone at booking, and no need to wait for an upgrade.
Absurd!

I am Plat on DL, and it would sure be nice to use this to upgrade to Diamond. PM me if you have an example of the two screenshots that they would be looking for from AA or another carrier... :) TIA

Same here. I nearly always fly in parties of 4-9 and the one complimentary companion is comparatively stingy. Perhaps they do allow the rest of the party to select preferred seats, like UA allows for silver and gold members. If they do, one could technically book self +1 in the last row in comfort and the rest of the party in first row in preferred. Granted, it's a pain but perhaps could be an option for some.

May need to cancel my first Delta challenge flight :-(

Booked Monday to SJU and just saw now that you can't enter PR without a negative PCR test (rapid not acceptable) and there is no way to get same day results on a PCR test.

Upsetting.

10/21

I did on 10/23 and just checked the app and its still Gold which I previously had. Was hoping to get upgraded to Plat with this match.

Update:

Took my first challenge flight using my new platinum status....

Pro:
Free upgrade to first class

Big negative:
No free Wi-Fi???
Gogo no longer gives free passes with Amex?
How does one fly without Wi-Fi in this day and age...
Already miss JetBlue :-(

I got an email this morning stating the following:


Thank you for your interest in the SkyMiles Medallion Status Match Challenge.

American Airlines Platinum is match to our Gold Medallion status. Currently, we show that you hold Gold Medallion tier level through January 31, 2022.

Thank you for your continued support of Delta Air Lines. We appreciate your loyalty.

We appreciate your business and interest in the Medallion Program and we look forward to hearing from you soon.


However, in the terms of this challenge it says:

Members with Alaska Airlines MVP Gold, American Airlines Platinum, jetBlue Mosaic, Southwest Airlines A-List Preferred or United Airlines Premier Gold who also submit qualifying credentials will receive complimentary Platinum Medallion Status through March 31, 2021.


(Bolding mine - I was matching from AA Plat)

Who can I call or otherwise contact to get them to give me the promised Plat status?

Read this thread.

Thanks.

I actually had and reread now, but I guess I wasn't concentrating well enough on those posts about those that got (mis)matched because they weren't targeted. Oh well, it was worth a shot though.

It looks like you got matched to the regular challenge not the promo because with the promo you should have gotten DL Diamond from AA EXP not just Plat.
