Wow Punki! $300K per year credit card charges from a single source! That's amazing - lucky you. In regards to your abundance of Alaska Air upgrades, there is a very strong possibility that I will be visiting Alaska next year (May or June) and could certainly use some upgrades. I just joined the Alaska Air program, but have no real occasion to fly them. The only means I have for getting miles there is through the Starwood program. I imagine I will use miles (probably UA or CO) to get out there from the east coast, but in state I'm sure a few hops on Alaska will be needed. I'll keep your e-mail address handy and contact you once plans come together. Thanks.
