Shhh…Airline Elite Status Matching…
In the past I’ve written about shortcuts to elite status with AA and United, and about Airtran offering lifetime elite-status matches.(All accessible in the knowledgebase)
All of this stuff is unofficial-so YMMV-your mileage may vary, and you won’t find any of this information on the airline’s websites.
United is known to match up to 1P (mid-tier) status.
Send a copy of your current elite status card or statement to:
Mileage Plus Service Center
Attention: Premier Status Match
P.O. Box 28870
Tucson, AZ 85726
Or fax it to:
605-341-6140
It won’t hurt your case if you explain why you might switch your business to United.
Stay tuned for more airlines that offer status matching…

Anyone have any luck with united?
I did the Airtran one a few months ago and that DID work.
