While trying to check into the return leg a few days later (which I am in the middle of) I learned our reservations were split, which was slightly annoying to only just learn. None of this is that big a deal but I am still waiting to learn why they asked for my email. Should I expect anything?
Sounds like you were on a former VX Alaska Airbus. In april, AS management decided to stop paying for F seat repairs on pre-refurb Airbus planes because it is cheaper for them to give out apology discount coupons instead. So yes, you should definitely write in and get such a coupon.
