Officially crossed into MVP for the 2nd year in a row.
I'm surprised at how often I get upgraded because I'm not ever flying in and out of Seattle.
I'm Gold on United and nearing the million miler mark so there's a chance I'll be hitting Alaska Gold once I cross that threshold on United.

Just (re)qualified for 75K. I was comp'd over from United (as a 1K) mid-year in 2015, so from January until now, I was a "lowly" Gold.
Anyone know if I have to call to have them re-enter my MP number for the 3 previously purchased trips? They still say "Gold", but not sure if that just takes a few days, or if you have to jiggle the handle.

Made MVP Gold once again as of last months but alas looks like my time as a MVP Gold 75K is coming to an end. I am 13K miles away and no international trips on the horizon. Oh well I stacked up a lot of miles this year as I traveled quite a bit but not enough for 90K international (Lost crucial miles going to Australia) Virgin Australia codeshare with Delta didn't count =/

Just hit MVP Gold for the first time after a SEA-OAK trip last weekend. I've spent the last 2 years at MVP, and looking forward to seeing what "going Gold" will be like. I've been singularly unlucky with upgrades (as in 0%) this year, seeing as all my flights originate out of SEA.

Will make it back to MVPG for next year this coming Tuesday, but living in HI, I'm more than just a little concerned about U space availability going forward. I've done very well with GGUs and instant upgrade fares and completely lost my taste for sitting in back if I'm going past Hilo, but it's looking like my strategy is going to need a re-think going forward.

Made MVPG yesterday. No more flying for the year. Thought this group might appreciate the screenshot of 40,001 miles flown on AS metal this year. (Took a little planning 
)

A couple weeks back I was at Exactly 65k. The off chance that after 40+ flights the number landed there was funny I thought.
