Hello all, I got the Alaska personal card AFTER they made the change to requiring $6,000 spend to get a companion pass unfortunately 7/27/2023. So the first year I got the sign up bonus which was a companion pass and I was close to the spend to get the companion pass for next year so I completed that.

I just received the spend companion pass in my account 7/25/2025 expiration and my annual fee just hit 7/31/2024. Going forward, I don't plan to use the card that much so it would be a waste. If I cancel the card to get the annual fee back, does that affect the companion pass I received from 2023-2024 spend? Will it get taken away or I can safely cancel and keep the award I earned
