For the right price (low CPM), I would. I have been averaging around 200K BIS in recent years before 2020, with a good chunk coming via personal travels including MRs. Even last year I had flown over 100K BIS, thanks to 60K+ BIS the first two months+ of the year.

Time for a new thread. It's official:
For members who fly 100,000 miles per year, we’re also introducing a new tier starting in 2022. This will recognize our absolute top echelon road warriors and offer perks such as increased bonus miles, top upgrade priority on Alaska flights, lounge benefits, and more. Look for more details later in 2021.

I have several FLL-SEA-PHX-SEA-FLL already booked in R with the previous promo codes. That's ~11k eqm (with the 50% eqm promo) each run. 11 weekends to get 100k before June is totally reasonable. I'm just waiting for more promo codes to finish booking the rest.

You'll wanna make sure that the status would take effect once you'd reach 100k for status through 2022. It wouldn't be sensible to do mileage runs over 75k this year if its going to be based on accumulating 100k in 2022 for status through 2023. I'm sure there will be an official clarification on this really soon.

It's hard to say, their wording is "look for more details later in 2021", which would lead one to believe it'll be 2022 for 2023, but no one knows at this point. (except for AAG, of course)

In my view, more importantly is what constitutes the "and more" aspect of reaching 100K. While NLA's pony is likely too much to hope for, perhaps MVPG nomination? Lounge access? More GGU (SWU type) certs? 150% - 200% mileage bonus? Lump sum 100K AS miles bonus?

I assume you'll hit 100K organically once COVID ends? With all of the pent-up demand, I don't anticipate a lot of discount codes, cheap fares and EQM promos in 2022.

And I've decided to upgrade my requests as well. No more pony, I want a unicorn.
