The Alaska site indicates she needed to be a member at the time of travel to get credit for previous flights. I don't think we'll hit 20K on Alaska metal this year either, so it won't help even if they could be added.
We'll get her an account for next year though, as we do tend to come close to the MVP miles every year.

The other way to interpret it is that you cannot earn until 6 months after joining but we all know that isn't right
To credit Alaska Airlines flights, travelers must have been a Mileage Plan™ member within 6 months of the travel date.

The way I read this is that you have to become a member w/in 6 months of a qualifying flight on AS metal. Others here will know for sure if that is correct, perhaps a question better asked in the forum newbie thread...

Next step is to see if she can get credit for our recent Fiji trip too! The wording implies that this won't work.

Re-qualified for MVP last month. I thought I would have no trouble getting Gold this year, but my 4 TATL segments (on BA, KL, AF) now only count as 25%. So I'll have to figure out a different way to get my remaining 15k miles.

Will hit MVP in October after a mileage run/mini-vacation to Hawaii....with no DEQM promotions this year (especially the SEA-DTW run), I have no chance of MVPG again next year which I can live with since I was Premier Silver with UA and wanted to at least maintain the same equivalent status with AS.

I'm at 25K all on AS metal so far this year. A couple of last minute trips in P and Y fare classes definitely helped pad the total. I might get to MVPG depending on whether we see my inlaws in SAN a couple more times or not (they're only there part of the year).

Hitting MVP tonight on segs. #30 is going to be SMF-PDX. I just started flying with AS in May after flying primarily with WN. I will be flying 8-12 segs/3400 miles a month so I might just hit 75k on the segs alone! Might have to do a few seg runs
