I nominate the surprise short-notice withdrawal of redemption partners and uncertain future of program!
Edit: Irritated sarcasm aside, "Potential Redemption Partners Post-Alaska Transition" would probably qualify as a decent benefit. TBH, none of the listed benefits except the fairly standard waiver of change fees are benefits I've ever even touched. But for the VS plug-pull last month that would be my nominee, but seeing as that plug got pulled...

I nominate Main Cabin Select's complementary food & drink. Closest thing to premium economy in the domestic market.

Honestly, the poll closed, but with the clunky integration going forward if the poll had opened today I would be casting a vote for "No Award Pending Merger".
