Alaska Airlines is currently matching status and they are doing them all the way up to their top tier status MVP Gold 75K. I sent them an email a few days ago with a photo of my driver's license, as well as a photo of my AA Executive Platinum card front and back and a screen shot of my current online statement. I just got an email with this subject:
Congratulations, You've Been Nominated for MVP Gold 75K
My status should last until the end of calendar year 2015, so I am very pleased to have been able to do this. I almost status matched a year ago but waited and very glad I did as now I was able to match to the top tier. So if you are a top tier elite at another airline, consider seeing if they will status match you. Email elite.flyer@alaskaair.com and you will get an automated email saying what you should send to them, or do what I did and just send the documentation in the first email and you might be matched in just a couple of days!
Remember that Alaska has a lot of great partners and that you can credit miles from both Delta and American Airlines to Alaska, making it an interesting option for many, especially if you live on the west coast.
