For me (and I might be in the minority), but I'm not a tweeter and don't use Twitter. Facebook I check once or twice a day. Being 'connected' with technology is one thing, being joined at the hip with it is something else.
The link you had took me to AS.com, so have to think it appeared there, too, on their front page. Email still works, so why not notify flyers/customers that way?

I'm not a tweeter either, but I do have an account. I've set it so that the only tweets that come through to my phone are from @Alaskaair and @AirwaysBrewing

Completely agree that they need to improve this. I'm an AS fan. I follow them on twitter. This promotion is not filling me with happy AS thoughts.

I use this link when sales come out to see if I am still at the best price. It amazes me how often a flight has dropped substantially in price and yet it's not even one of the advertised specials. You get a credit Right away. https://www.alaskaair.com/booking/ss...edAirfare.aspx

Whining that you didn't check your Facebook or twitter in time makes it seem like you're a teenager who missed One Direction's contest entry!

Also - If I used my corporate travel agent to book this, it doesn't give me the option to credit back to that credit card, but rather it issues an email credit certificate or deposit the funds in MyWallet. Does the former allow you to apply it to a travel agent booking in the future, or does it add a few extra steps, but is essentially the same as, depositing it in MyWallet?
It literally would be stealing from my company if I put it in My Wallet for future travel. I always have to book through a corporate travel agent, so doing that would be wrong. Thoughts?

If you use the Guaranteed Airfare Credit (I've seen the acronym GARR, but I don't know exactly what it stands for), you are issued new ticket numbers. With the reticketing, I think you do go to the end of the upgrade queue.
