Hawaiian Airlines Status Match

I filled out the online instructions and sent them screen shots showing routes I took on united that were similar to their flights. Please be aware- I had at least 20 flights that matched- and that included ones that were similar to their longer direct flights (Vegas, Boston, JFK, and Orlando)

Contacted through online portal. Provided an electronic copy of my United Premier Silver card and flight records. Needed to prove that the number of flights between Hawaiian's destinations accrued on United would have resulted in elite status on Hawaiian if those flights were taken on Hawaiian (i.e., the number of flights I took between SFO and OGG would have resulted in Pualani Gold if those flights were taken on Hawaiian instead of United).

went smoothly

Emailed them from their contact us portal. Took about a week or so. I shared my Delta status. They asked for additional details. All my flights with Delta in 2020. I shared that but also shared that I hadn't traveled much recently due to COVID. They wanted to see that I’ve flown on routes they service. So, I went back to 2019 and 2018 and shared several flights to Hawaii, Japan, Korea and Tahiti, to show that I do travel on routes they service and I’m willing to travel on Hawaiian Airlines in the future. Below is the email I received. Subject Hawaiian Airlines Reservations: Other - Other Response By Email (....) (03/31/2021 03:55 PM) Aloha ......
