Delta Status Match +1 for Amex Cardholders
This is just to confirm that roughly two weeks after I completed the following, my Delta account was matched to Diamond.
Original post from March 1st, 2022:
I just received an incredible Status Match offer with Delta via American Express. It’s targeted, so keep an eye out for your junk mail, or even try the link provided, but the offer gives Delta status within 14 days that is commensurate to your matched airlines statuts + 1 level. I currently don’t have any status with Delta, but I do have Platinum Pro with American Airlines so I should match to Delta Diamond.
Eligibility:
1. Determine if you are eligible
You are eligible to participate in our Status Match Offer if you meet all of the following criteria:
- You received this offer directly from American Express by e-mail.
- You currently have elite status with a qualifying airline, that was earned through that airline’s published requirements (complimentary status or status earned through a promotion does not qualify).
- These airlines are:
- Alaska
- American
- United
- JetBlue
- SouthWest
- These airlines are:
- You are able to present both 1) a valid, non-expired elite physical or digital membership card or credential with your name and expiration date on it and 2) a statement showing your earned elite status with an airline and the corresponding activity with that airline that enabled the status tier, with your name on it. For both materials, you may upload a photograph, screenshot of your app or computer screen, or other file format as long as it clearly shows the required information, your elite status level, valid expiration date, and your name.
2. Submit your request
Once you receive your confirmation your status will be valid through August 31, 2022.
3. Enjoy Medallion Status
Complimentary Status until August 31, 2022.
Go here to see if you’re targeted
What status will you qualify for?
Here’s the chart…
If you want to keep status through 1/31/23 – you’ll have to hit these thresholds:
No spend requirement which is pretty awesome and if you fall short…for instance I need to hit 50k MQMs by 8/31/22, but if I don’t, I can still retain Platinum if I hit 28k MQMs
You need to enter your email at this link. If you’re targeted you’ll qualify.
Fill out the form and include a screencap of your current status
I currently have Platinum Pro so fingers crossed I will match to Diamond and see what it’s like!

Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.
