If you make MVPG this year, you will receive four paper upgrades, valid until Dec. 31, 2011. They send the certificates as soon as you make MVP Gold from MVP, but if you are Gold and will re-qualify, normally they send your next years MVPG kit towards the end of the year.

Also, once you make MVPG and it shows in the system, you should call Alaska and make sure they place you on the correct upgrade waitlist. If you are waitlisted for an upgrade on a reservation you purchased while MVP, you'll be on the 48 hour waitlist. Make sure you call and ask to be put on the 72-hour waitlist (Gold).
