Smooth of all of you who qualified in the last days of 2018. Then your GGU's are issued in 2019 and don't expire until the end of 2020!

Got the e-mail welcoming me to MVP Gold on Thursday morning

Already nominated the wife for MVP (I know my place!!)

I ended up calling AS Customer Care today because for the flight I took on 1/2 it gave me the MVP RQM bonus rather than MVP Gold. The agent had to do a manual adjustment to get it right. She told me that status changes can take up to 72 hours to make it through all systems. So even though by 8am on 1/4 the AS website said I was MVP Gold, I wasn't gold in the airport systems.
I'm flying again twice next week - let's see if my Gold status is properly noted.
Back to the point of this thread - finally officially Gold again on 1/4/18 from my qualifying flight on 1/31.

I qualified 75K based on a 29 DEC Condor flight. Had to email Alaska to get it credited, happened 1 day after I emailed them (whoever processes that stuff is world class.)

Aaaand 75K finally appeared. BA partner crediting is difficult, but the issue is clearly on BA's end, not AS. Flew in early November in the correct fare class to get the miles I needed, requested manual credit when they didn't appear. AS kept waiting for the partner desk at BA to respond, finally on call today manually credited status and will add miles once they hear back from them since no matter what I would have hit with the 500 EQM min. Once again, great work by AS even when partners are dropping the ball in the backroom.

Then received the "Welcome to 75K" mailer last week. (~Jan 15th)
Yesterday I received the "Welcome to Gold" mailer
Fortunately, the website still shows me as 75K, so I think their wonderful I.T. systems just had bit of a regurgitation.

The first time I hit Gold, I got an MVP packet, followed by two Gold packets, so you're not alone!
