Got a status match this month (based on LH) - worked just fine. I called the OnePass service center, they gave me a mailing address where I had to send a hard copy of my card and statement to.

I am also AA Plat flying out of EWR and was considering switching to CO (simple reason being a 3 or 4 hour trip instead of 4 or 8 hours due to connections). I wanted to confirm that if I elect the match now versus summer when my CO gold expire Feb 08 or Feb 09?

CO has a really long memory....I did the match years ago and tried again...but alas while the were extremely nice, I was reminded that its a once in a lifetime benefit - thus I cant do the match again. No problems on my end as rules are rules. I guess I will continue with AA and roll onto Lifetime Platinum. The thing is I can easily make atleast Silver on CO, however, as a non elite they always stick me all the way in the back.

CO matched my United 1K with CO platinum last month. After I faxed in my United statement from 2006, CO responded within 24 hours. Needless to say, I was pleased. After taking my first CO round trip in F and BF, I was extremely pleased.

Status match
Status match can be done sending a fax to 832 235-2713 One Pass Service Center ATTN: One Pass Match Program. They usually respond in less than 24 hours. If you already matched a few years ago I see no reason why not to open a new account and match this account. You should be able to transfer the points from your old account if you have less than 50,000. Even if not, CO doesn't have a 1M program, so there's no reason why not to have 2 accounts. (just get new flights in the new one and use rewards from the old one until it's down to 50,000points and then merge it with the new one.) Kind'a sneaky but should work.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I will stay with AA. If I do not make Platinum this year on AA, I may switch to CO as I can make Silver within 3-4 months if my current travel pattern continues.

Does one need to have a base CO Onepass account set up when requesting the match, or can they open an account and status match in one move?
Thanks
Thanks

Checkin as close to the 24 hour mark as you can, all unoccupied elite seats as well as exit rows open up. I jsut got switched to exit row for flights tomorrow.
