I need to fly in the end of June from Oregon to Alaska. I have the circumstances to get accepted to most all cards. I need 2 tickets. I do not travel. (hate to do it). I think currently the alaska card, $30k, +companion +$100bonus, $1000/spend limit, will work the best for me to squeeze out a "one" time flight for the cheapest possible. my questions are does the flight ($350ish) if purchased soon, count towards the $1000 spend limit? or x 2 =$700, how does the companion pass kick in if things count towards the spending limit? i could not find these details anywhere, i do not know if they fall in to a basic knowledge question! (eventually ill get the 30k, just not in time)
