Planning to switch loyalties from
United to American, any way to switch over in a smarter way ? Have not been able to find a way to get status match.

AA doesn’t have a status match, just a challenge and it costs money. Quick google search should yield details

Mostly true C1.
1. AA has a paid challenge available to anyone/everyone. You can pay extra to have the status during the challenge.
2. They also periodically run targeted free challenges. Check with your travel department for firm-specific ones. My wife received a “Here’s Plat + 20 500MUs, get 12,500 EQMs by 12/15 to keep” challenge for free. She was planning a euro trip for work (so Biz class) which easily took care of the target.
3. AA has been known to waive the challenge fee for DL/UA flyers with the highest public status (eg UA 1K). You still have to meet the challenge terms though.

Check www.statusmatcher.com and Flyer Talk for data points.

May be a myth, but I had an AA pilot as an Uber driver that told me customer service will status match you for free if you email them. May be worth a shot.

Yes. I got my status through emailing them. Definitely try that.

I was emailed a Plat Pro status match a year or so ago. Might be worth calling AA and ask them. For the record delays have been terrible this year

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time.

My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?
