As mentioned up thread, this quiz came in the Year in Review email. The email claims that the #1 Alaska flyer was Olivier, with 862,529 miles on Alaska in 2019. That’s around 2300 miles each day, 365 days a year. A transcon every day of the year. Does Olivier have a family on each coast or what?

My summary included CoS bonus. So maybe - but yeah, even still. Wow.

From my email showing all my stats for the year. Last page had fine print re: discount terms/conditions, but no actual code, and nothing in my discount codes on the site (except my companion fare for the year). Wonder if it's worth reaching out to AS about?

I also got the email today and this time when I did the quiz, I got the "book now" link. Just unfortunate the restrictions they put on it - book by Monday 01/20 for travel between April 21 - June 10, 2020...
I know I need to book a trips in February & early April - so neither of those qualify I'll probably be traveling during the offered window, but I won't know destinations by this weekend, so a bit of a bummer.
My summary said I flew 48,933 and achieved Gold, when my app (and my own tracking) showed I flew 52,646 with AS & partners including CoS bonus (34,335 with AS / 18,311 with partners).
At first I thought it was just missing some flight(s) but couldn't find anything logical that made the math work, so then I went and looked at my flights with AS that had a CoS bonus, and that's the difference. All my CoS bonuses this year were from booking F with AS, no partner CoS so not sure if those would be calculated differently.
So my stats email appear to only show BiS miles. It's nice to know those few flights where I just bought F outright because it was a good deal ended up saving me a mileage run at the end of the year

My "total mileage plan miles a earned in the air" seems to be BIS only but includes partners. I can double check later. It's way less than my eqm, and way more (about double) my AS miles flown, so I don't see what else it could be.
It also said I had 0 award flight redeemed. That is either wrong, or not counting partner flights.

Hmm... my recap showed the BIS miles.
Took the quiz and got 7/10. Received the code on clicking the “Book” button.
Apparently my booking wasn’t eligible for the discount.
Oh well - it’s a company trip anyway and I got to use a couple GGUs SEA-JFK so it wasn’t all bad.

My total mileage is off by 1049 (39417 in email, I had 40466 EQM/BIS). I didn't have any COS bonuses or partners. Can't figure out the difference. Didn't take any flights which were exactly 1049 either.
And none of mine were manually posted, to my knowledge... so that doesn't explain my difference. Couldn't even come up with a combination of flights to be 1049...

You would think AS would sanity check something like that before sending it out...
