Considering the current average speed of Subaru's on Alaska highways, you had better have a VERY, VERY long layover to make that journey. I was very glad when the average speed went up to 2 MPH in 2019, but then realized there was a wind storm pushing that particular vehicle. Will they ever put a motor in one of those things with anything resembling actual acceleration?

If you have 9,505 Alaska miles, then that means you have at least a couple AS-metal segments. 6 isn't many segments to fly, especially if they rolled over the first few months from 2020. Were you flying AS to get from BOI to your QR gateway city?

Did AS state that segments would roll over?

I don't know if they ever stated it anywhere, but they certainly did it. My segment count has 2020 rollover as well.

I hope AS will soon give full official info on what will be needed for this new level.

I should hit it in November and am in the same boat wishing for this year to count to qualify. If not, at least maybe a healthy amount rollover EQMs from 2021>2022.

I have flown 73,762 miles on AS since May 18, 2021, so I could easily hit 250K this and every year. Should I push AS for an MVP Gold 250K status to leave the infrequent travelers (anyone flying under 250K annually) in a lower status than mine?
Now that AA IT has done its job, I almost always get upgraded to F on AA metal because of my AS Gold 75K status.
What benefit would a 100K or 250K tier add? Would we preboard like Concierge Key? I would like that.
My UA 1K status allows me to preboard. That is a benefit I enjoy on every flight, and AS should add that.

Why do Gold 75Ks hope there is a new Gold 100K? Do you also want status to be based on spend, like it is at AA, UA, DL?

And your official source is...?
What specific "additional benefits" can you guarantee? Free annual CLEAR membership? Top tier reciprocity on all OW flights? Free unlimited AS lounge visits so I no longer have to buy BoardRoom membership?
I have asked several AS agents with the Gold 75K reservations and Mileageplan desks and they say a 100K tier is just an old, recurring rumor.
If we are truly adding benefits, I hope there is a 250K tier so I can get even more benefits than those of you who fly very little (under 250K annually).😁

That's great to hear....the mileage based aspect of MP is the #1 reason I don't even consider moving to DL/UA/WN/AA programs.

So, does your supposed "bridge" have a date when this will be officially announced? Or will this continue in the same vein as other "insider " wishful thinking?
And please list one or more of the supposed new benefits we 100K elites will receive...🦗🦗🦗
