And the ability to receive weekly special fares a few hours early...well, I might be more excited about that if Alaska's idea of a sale fare wasn't so high as to be insulting...
But other than that, nice lip service to the carrier's namesake state.
So elite MP members who join also get a boost in baggage right? 49 bags once a year
But this is also good marketing to help persuade AK based folks to choose AS when flying south due to free baggage ^
Upon registering it said we'd be sent a new card. In the interest in Wallet Real Estate, can this be a notation on those with status- ie an extra logo to keep down on cards needed?
