3. Discounts on Paid First Class Tickets (another page mentioned a potential $500 bank to use toward F tickets)
• doesn't beat a GGU & companion cert

4. Alaska Lounge Day Passes
• already have paid for board room & other lounge memberships

5. Vouchers for Complimentary In-Flight Meals
• moot point in first class (via GGU)

6. Waived Ticket Change Fees for Companions
• companion already has free change fees

Instead of vouchers for in-flight meals, it would be nice if Golds and 75Ks could select one food item for free (like a snack box or fruit/cheese plate).
