Hi 🐠s! I am forced to flight AA next week and have "cattle" status. Any tips on how to get a status match without having to pay?

You sound pathetic talking about "cattle status" and being just gold with united only makes it worse.

@EY Totally fine if you're gold, but don't go ragging on others with "cattle status" when you're barely above that.

Nope sorry

@ey1 Not just for one week!

Look on the travel site and/or call AA.

You're going to have to pay for their status challenge I imagine. What status do you have on other airlines?

@bcg1 yeah when I called that's all they could offer. I told them I was gold with United but didn't matter ☹️😩😤!!

Status match you shouldn't have to pay for. I didnt have to last year. Then again.. Maybe it was a special. Definitely have to pay for status challenges though.

Check with EY travel? I know deloitte has a status match program with United that doesn't cost anything. I'm guessing EY has something similar.

Just pay for a economy plus upgrade

Yeah check out our travel CHS, there are always "new hire" offers. Don't have to be new to get them though

Thanks @EY3. Good idea. @D2 always a jerk. Gold status is good enough to pick a decent seat and still have a pretty flexible work/life balance. Pathetic is having platinum and above and never seeing my family or having a mild heart attack for not getting upgraded. Let me be darn it!

@d1 we have one with United too.

Make friends with somebody in group 1-4 and go on as their travel companion

@ey3 where in CHS is that

I guess I would just extend my stay at the hotel if required, does anyone know if that's an acceptable answer if asked by border control?
