Not Atmos Summit, but I wasn't able to get a complimentary AS Wi-Fi pass to work when I chose one as a milestone award. AS' web portal wouldn't recognize the pass, which was supposed to be attached to my AS account. Seemed more than happy to take payment, though. Contacted Customer Care after the fact, and they apologized that I'd had problems but didn't reissue the pass. I won't choose it again (and don't recommend others do, if it's this inconsistent).

I've noticed that the passes don't work if you don't have your Alaska FF# in the reservation. My wife and I both have Summit Visas and the associated wifi passes. On several recent flights my wife had her AA FF# on the reservations whereas I had my AS FF# on mine. My wifi passes worked, hers did not. Has anyone figured out a work-around?

I guess they don’t want you to “double dip” and use your Summit benefit while crediting to a partner airline. Sigh.

Great catch. Thank you.

Given that WiFi is going free anyway, it’s bizarre that they are so restrictive here. Or should I say, cheap?
And it may not be in the T&C, but who are you going to argue with? Their T&C were written by last year’s summer interns…

It's just a function of how it works. It's tied to your AS MP# (or atmost #) versus just a code.

Complimentary Wi-Fi: The Primary Cardholder will receive 2 Alaska Airlines single flight Wi-Fi passes credited each calendar quarter for a total of 8 Wi-Fi passes per year (every 12 months from account open date). To qualify for Wi-Fi passes, the Primary Cardholder's account must be open with active charging privileges. Passes are valid through the end of the quarter in which they are issued. Quarterly allotments of passes will be credited to the Atmos™ Rewards Program account on the first day of each calendar quarter (January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1). Wi-Fi passes for a new account will be credited to the Primary Cardholder's Atmos™ Rewards Program account within 30 days of account opening or upgrade. All Wi-Fi passes are valid through the end of the quarter in which they are issued.
I will note that the Wifi voucher benefit is no longer (?) listed among the features of the card on these pages:
