If it's feasible for you, you might want to consider the Advantage Executive World Elite card through Citi - it's $450 vs. the AC full fare membership of $550 and will also get you at least 50k miles with $5k of spend in the first 3 months.
And AC access for Authorized Users too. Authorized users, however, will not get access to the Alaska Lounges; only the primarary account holder and their guest.
