You're only supposed to earn bonus SP for CoS on revenue tickets, no bonus SP for elite status. No bonus SP on award tickets.

Did you upgrade into P class by any chance? That would account for the 75% bonus points.

This is my understanding of how things are supposed to work:
.

revenue ticket
- RDP
  - base - yes
  - CoS bonus - yes (1)
  - elite bonus - yes (2)
- SP
  - base - yes
  - CoS bonus - yes (1)
  - elite bonus - no
award ticket
- RDP
  - base - no
  - CoS bonus - no
  - elite bonus - no
- SP
  - base - yes
  - CoS bonus - no
  - elite bonus - no

(1) anywhere from 0% to 250% depending on fare class, who operated the flight, and where it was purchased, see https://www.alaskaair.com/atmosrewar...points/flights for details
(2) 25%/50%/100%/150% depending on elite status tier, see https://www.alaskaair.com/atmosrewar...StatusBenefits for details
