To take part, you must:

• Join Elevate
• Then, e-mail statusmatch@virginamerica.com with your Elevate number + one of the following:
  • A copy or screenshot of your most recent mileage summary showing your name and current elite level.
  • A copy of your membership card that identifies your name and current elite level in the United Air Lines or American Airlines frequent flyer program.

This is how Virgin America will determine whether you will receive Elevate Gold or Elevate Silver:

Point redemption is based on fare, destination, date, and more.
