Alaska Airlines Makes It Easier To Requalify For Status

I just used the last of my AA miles on an award flight in 2022. My Platinum Pro status will likely lapse in 2023. I'd like to hear some suggestions as to which oneworld airline you would invest your loyalty in as a Europe/Asia business class traveler. Thanks in advance.

My last flights in Alaska to HNL were well served, the FAs were happy and their service showed.

Just by being MVP, the benefits showed. I love that they serve water in a cardboard container. They are trying.

I will stick with Alaska and keep the MVP status.

I have a question. If I earn 5k in Jan, will that count towards earning status towards 2023 as well?

Thanks

Do we know if the mileage to retain status in Q1 would also apply toward meeting 2023 status requirement?

Any challenge for MVP Gold 100k ?
I qualified for 100k and have over 53k already booked for Jan-Feb.

They cancelled flights into and out of Kelowna (albeit because the Canadian Government closed Kelowna as an international arrivals airport) so have not been able to use Alaska since March 2020.

Recently travelled to Mexico and had to use WS - ok but really expensive since they don't have the 2-for-one. Hopefully Alaska will fly soon but, unfortunately, not soon enough.

From what I've gathered from my friends who work at Alaska... if you qualify for 100K in 2021 (100,000 miles + 24 Alaska segments), then you are automatically in the new 100K program for 2022.

No need for a challenge if you're already 100k. This challenge is for flyers who missed to regain their status in 2021...if they succeed their status will last through 12/31/22 - just as your 100k status will.

Ben, could you expand upon your comments, "Base flight miles don’t take into account any class of service bonuses, for those paying for first class; however, flights on partner airlines do qualify, though you need to fly a minimum of two segments on Alaska Airlines" by using Qatar as an example of how to requalify? Alaska's Qatar page is at: https://www.alaskaair.com/content/mileage-plan/how-to-earn-miles/airline-partners/qatar-airways?lid=airline-partners:%20partners-qatar

@Ben - do you think that AS will introduce/extend any Bonus Elite Miles promos in Q1? I already have 60k booked for Q1 2022 but I’m working at requalifying for 2023.

Thanks!

Seem self explanatory

Would love to get a bump up from 75k to 100k, but no free lunch available.

Please clarify that this doesn't apply to all MVP members as Alaska promised. They are now saying that "in order to qualify for the status extension, elites had to be within reach of their current status and were given four months at the start of 2022 as a courtesy." If you were "too far away from reaching" that status that you had "you do not qualify for that status extension."

Definitely not something communicated to members. Very frustrating
