Sorry if this has been discussed already, but I did a search for "cookie" and couldn't find anything relevant. :)
This is my first year as an MVPG, and I heard AS FedEx's holiday cookies, however I recently moved and I'm worried mine got lost in the mail? Or maybe AS didn't send them this year? I did get a holiday card from them last week at my new address fwiw. Has anyone else received anything? I was looking forward to sharing my AS branded holiday cookies with family on Christmas. =/

Alaska stopping sending cookies to Golds last year due to the high cost of shipping.
I did get a christmas card, however.

More likely due to the larger amount of Golds and then adding 75K as well.
Yeah, well I got a very special electronic message and a Christmas card too!

Makes sense, I was afraid of that. :(
But that begs the question, have the 75ks received anything special beyond an e-holiday card and snail mail card? :eek:

Remember the last time you showed up at the airport and QX had free, fresh brewed coffee at the gates for their customers...that perk also went the way of the dodo bird...I, for one, will miss those dark chocolate dipped cookies. The card they sent this year doesn't taste near as good.

Only if you have a note added to my account that will allow me to take two carry-ons and a personal item :D Too many cookies to bring for my January MR. I also need something as an alternative to chocolate in case i run into any more FA's that cant eat them

You could check a bag and refill your carry-on with cookies at the halfway point ;-)

Two trips ago, some Portuguese sausage (mostly) survived the way home.
And shockingly, I still have my suitcase from my last trip. That one was fun. Kudos to the UA contract personnel at KOA for allowing us to check our bags after the cut-off. They made the flight...as well as the next five flights covering 9,807 miles and two coasts.
Unfortunately, that was just clothes and a beach towel. Didn't have time to get any sausage. :(

I got another Christmas card hand signed from the the Alaska team in Denver. A very nice surprise!

Got an unsigned Christmas card, but it could have been sent before my 75K status posted. It was in a pile of mail that went back to Dec 15ish, and it was sent bulk mail so there was no postmark, so I don't know when it was sent.

It was pre-75K...
Now for the mysterious 75K package ;)
Need our special luggage tags :p

Got the card. Actually liked the image a lot.
Do miss the cookies. But secretly envious of a good friend who made the new Delta Diamond level this year and received, as his frequent flier holiday gift, an iPad. ^
