At $900+ per ticket this could be the best thing that has ever happened to me. A few questions though:

1) I wouldn't plan to use the Alaska Airlines card much after using it for my trip (I mostly fly along east coast). Other than having to pay $75 / yr. Do you see any problem with this? I have a good credit score, two other cards, and won't need to take out a loan anytime soon.

2) How long after I apply can I expect my companion fare coupon?

3) I see a flight on AS website that has one leg operated by AA. If I chose this itinerary would I be able to use my companion ticket?

4) Anything else I should know or that I am overlooking regarding the companion fare?


Thanks for your help. I think AS does referrals for their CCs so I can offer this to the first person who helps.
