Interesting development on my Summit:
Today I noticed an “MLA CREDIT - ANNUAL FEE” transaction post on my first statement with the annual fee refunded in full. I’m not military and never indicated so.
Will call in to fix, but keep an eye out on yours. I would like to avoid a shutdown here.

Heads up- there is not a way to share wifi codes. It's linked to your MP# and seat #.

Few questions about the card benefits before pulling the trigger.
1. Can I redeem points from my account for an award travel for a family member and then redeem the Global Companion Award (25K) cert for yet another family on the same reservation?
2a. I believe the Global Companion Award cert is only for redemption during the calendar year in which it has been issued, but can it be used for travel during the following year if award space is available?
2b. If 2a is possible, I would assume any changes made to the reservation in the new year will result in the cert "expired/no longer valid"?
3. If I redeem points for award travel for myself and pay for the fees using the Summit card, I will be able to check a bag for free, correct?
4. I think it offers rental car insurance coverage, but is it primary? Any real world experience with claims (assuming it will be the same coverage/company as other BofA cards)?
5. When exactly are the annual status points awarded upon renewal? If I apply now, does it mean I won't receive them until around March/April (anniversary)? Does this mean it would be more beneficial to apply earlier in the year?
TIA.

Each Global Companion Award may be used for a discount up to the stated value of points off a companion award booking when the primary cardholder redeems points for travel and is traveling with another guest on a published award ticket on the same itinerary, booked at the same time on AlaskaAir.com.
However the AS FAQ says otherwise:
Does the cardholder need to be traveling?
No. You can use your Global Companion Award to book for any two travelers of your choice.

The spend tracker for my Global Companion Award is from October 2025-October 2026, so I assume that based on the above if I get it now, it will be valid until March 2027.
It is beneficial to apply earlier in the year, at least for the first qualification.
Say I have the ability to spend $60k within the first 3 months of the year. Then I either need to overspend another $20k ($80k total) to hit Gold status, assuming I don't fly AS at all, or sit and wait until October to get the 10k boost to push me to Gold.
I am not sure I can easily spend the $140k (plus 10k status points) necessary for Platinum.

Stupid question, if you don't fly AS at all, why do you care about obtaining AS elite status?

Hitting the status itself is super easy for me
3x on rent already hits AS Gold with no additional spend. WF banned me from Bilt 1.0 and I have no interest in the garbage fire that is Bilt 2.0
3x on foreign transactions (or 3.3x?) has no parallel so incremental spend is easy too
Putting incremental spend on this is fine too as it's not much worse than putting it on a BBP (I don't have any other MR cards) or CFU
UA has much better routes out of SFO for me than AS but happy to use it whenever I fly oneWorld
