Submitted on 10/25, no response as of yet. Anyone else still waiting with my submission date (or earlier)? I was targeted via email

I did not get targeted for this offer sent an email last Monday and got my response today that I matched from my promo AA Gold status.

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

Even worse, if you have 3+ people on the reservation, NO ONE gets any upgrade.

You don't even get the comfort+ upgrade for even you or your companion if there are more than 2 people on the reservation!

Yes. If you would be targeted. Otherwise they are matching to their regular status match. I was expecting Delta Plat matched from AA Plat, instead they matched to Delta gold which I already have.

Same answer as above. They did regular status match, not promo.

Does a flight with a stopover (2 segments) count as 2 flights towards keeping the status after 3 months?

I was matched to Delta Diamond from United Platinum with this offer. I don't plan on flying much within the next couple of months so I doubt I'll be able to maintain Diamond status. Any advice on maximizing it with status matches before it expires on 3/31/2021?

But still nice for a JetBlue mosaic to get upgraded both ways on a $129 ticket...

Three pros of Mosaic over medallion...

Upgrades not allowed (even if you want just for yourself) when more than 2 on reservation. 

JFK and LGA are not considered the same, so no changes.

No free Wi-Fi.

I am pretty sure that #1 above is not correct. You do need your companion to be a skymiles member (just make an account online) to be eligible for upgrade and you should be able to request an upgrade for (only) one companion. If companion is on a different PNR, call delta to link the reservation and companion will be able to get upgraded.

Tried it twice on two different occasions.
