I apologize, I seem to have misremembered the pricing (taxes are lower than I remembered, maybe I was looking at 2 people). I'm looking at leaving May 2nd or morning May 3rd, returning May 4th for a weekend wedding.
I have just applied for the AS Mastercard, so do not have a companion pass as of yet.

Fare Taxes & Fees Charges
Airfare for Traveler 1: $318.16 $79.50 $397.66
Airfare for Companion:$106.43 $69.70 $176.13
Total Due Now: $573.79
If you can leave May 1, it saves you a bit. Note the companion fare and the taxes don't change regardless of the fare for passenger 1:

Thanks for checking. I was hoping to take the 6 am on Saturday but it looks like the lowest economy fares for that flight is gone (seat map looks pretty full too)
$616 for 2 for an overnight wedding isn't cheap either...

I plan to apply for this card before the month's end. I love that I can get cash back for credit card apps! I usually get over $100 in my account every month from GCR for this and online purchases. It's my coffee money each month!

I didn't get the $30 rebate for AMEX Air Miles Platinum (conditional approval but 1 call fixed that next day) via GCR, they had to wait till the "monthly" report from AMEX, and just added $30 to my pending rebates (for Dec 15 payout) this week

I've emailed them regarding a missing cc app rebate and they were very quick to respond and investigate. You should see results soon...

Instructions on GCR say to wait 3 weeks. Did you do it before then?
I haven't gotten my card yet.
I also signed up for a Alaska Mileage Plan after applying, is it easy to merge the two accounts if my names might differ? (No Chinese name on credit card but shows on travel document)

GCR - Report Problem Form

I had that problem too, I applied with my english name, and MBNA/Alaska created the account for me insead of myself
I email Alaska MP with my passport scan and they changed the name for me
I suggest people to sign up for Alaska MP, get a # first, before applying for the CC

GCR also did not post my rebate after 3 weeks. I filled in the missing rebate form, received an e-mail the next day, and then on the 3rd day the rebate was posted into my account. Surprised that the whole process was so painless!
