I Faxed in to delta a request to status match for two accounts on 2-13, today it showed up in both Accouts As Gold Medallion.
is Bmi Silver same as to delta gold?

It's better.
Delta Gold now gets you entrance to Skyteam lounges on international trips and a good chance at an upgrade when flying Delta. Besides the usual fees status waives...

"Alot" is relative.
AA does offer challenge (fly x amount of miles in x days) to fast track elite status.
Although, they do charge?

I think I read that AA has actually started doing status matches and they're even free.
Try asking AAdvantage CS for a mAAtch and see what they say.

Looks like they'll match to Gold or Plat and offer a challenge to EXP.
I assume the elite year cutoff date is the same for mAAtches as it was for chAAlenges: 06/16.

Apparently they send a new card every year with LT PLT, no? So no point in just getting more of the same cards...

EXP, now that's something...

Will they match Delta Silver to AA Gold? Do they look at your activity. (The Delta silver was matched from UA at the end of last year.)

Question, please:

I still have BMI Silver (and therefore Star Alliance silver) from last year's deal and I do not scam so I did not sign up for the latest BMI under a different email as some suggested.
I read on DD that American/OneWorld, and Delta as well, would Status Match.

I only fly a few times a year, typically, but if I do request a status match to either or both airlines/alliances, I would to get as much use as possible from it.

What would be the best way to do this and for what length of time is each airline (AA and Delta) status matching?
Also, will UAL status match (90 days) once per year or is it once in a lifetime?

For example, status match to Delta get Delta elite for x months then after x months status match to AA and get y months. Hopefully a new Star Alliance deal will come out by then, or there will be a way to transfer that back to Star Alliance.

Does anyone either know the best way to do this or have any other ideas?

Maybe Dan can address this on the site? I'm sure many people have BMI from last year and would like to keep that elite status on any possible airline(s).

Good Shabbos and Happy Purim.
