Argh! I thought I had it. So now looking for the cheapest AS MR, preferably a RT with two 769 mile legs.
Will be JNU-SFO 12/14 - 12/20 so hoping to find a red-eye out of SEA or SFO.
Any ideas? (sorry if this is the wrong place to post)
Don't suppose AS would round up from 38,463 to 40K....and I got the gold challenge last yr, don't hold out hope for another.
Thanks!

What does it say about me that I would rather miss NYE celebrations than not get MVPG?

Mine was in a big batch of mail that I picked up on Tuesday. I'm not very good about checking it daily, so not sure when the packet actually arrived. My guess is that they did a batch mailing recently.

This is like playing Roulette. If the flight is delayed, and the HI flights are from time to time, you may takeoff after midnight. Not sure how that will post. You may need to call in after the flight to sort it out.
The extravaganza is on!!! Beckoa will be travelling slightly north to acquire some of the required (ahumm) "necessities" for the evenings festivities.

I think 871 is ok...if the flight is delayed it should post to the original departure date. If a reroute is required, I'd think a call to Customer Care should help rectify the posting and status.
And yes I'll need to make a run (but that's another thread
)

I trust I will get credit in 2014 for it but does anyone know for sure?

Can't do partners
How close are you with partner miles for MVP-G? Lots of Delta flights out of SFO you may be able to catch.
I just made MVPG-75K by mixing Alaska & partner... hit 91K miles ^_^
*Update*
Actually, are you GOLD NOW? If so - we get free changes. I'd route you through PDX, or even LAX/LAS and hop a codeshare flight northbound into SFO from southern california.
I used to do this alot with United... I'd fly FLL-ORD-SFO-LAX-LAS to help push me over. I've even done SFO-FAT-LAS on SkyWest ^_^

I'm thinking I may do a quick JNU-SEA-JNU, especially if there is a Cyber Monday sale of any use to JUN-based AS customers.
Here's my dumb question - if I call the MVPG reservations and explain my goal, can they, will they, help with a re-route of my JNU-SEA_SFO-SEA-JNU itineray as you suggest, or, do I need to work it out and request a specific route?
Thanks! (again)

Added a cheap SEA-DEN RT
Not bad: 10,000 miles +$131.70 = 2042 EQM bringing me over the MVPG threshold.
SEA-DEN 8:35pm - 11:58 PM - DEN-SEA 6:00 AM- 8:01 AM. No doubt its the same plane.
Ahhh....

Yes - I'm MVPG now, but would need 15401 (minus JNU-SEA-SFO RT) partner miles.

This is a good sale to lock in a good deal on a Jan/Feb mileage run just to get the ball rolling for 2015....last year I bought PDX-GEG-PDX-SEA-LAX-SEA-EUG-PDX (many of the short QX hops like PDX-EUG go on sale for $49 which is about as low as they're gonna get and they make great positioning flights for PDX/SEA connections).

Done for the year on UA and AS. Still working at it on DL.
UA 59.9K PQM/33.5 PQS/$4350 PQD
AS 51K EQM/33 EQS -- 10K EQM/8 EQS on AS metal, rest on partners.
DL 8.5K MQM/8 MQS so far. Will finish Plat Medallion challenge on December 29 about halfway back from JFK and end the year at ~24K MQM.
Been a pretty rough year of flying. Hoping to scale way back next year to ~75K BIS split 1/3-2/3 between AS and DL.

Just hit 75K (the hard way) SEA-LAX on Friday, which was great. Credited overnight, and it was nice to see those extra 50K miles chilling out in my stack this morning. After *not* having this for one year (I'd qualified with 130K that first year) I must say that I may not go back.

Finally made MVP Gold after FIJI trip. 2015 should be fun! I was MVP last year and looking forward to that 100% bonus match for all flights.
