RAD_PDX Only 50% Or the 1.5 (I class) x 1.5 (flight bonus) = 2.25? We just had a similar I class flight yesterday on 3/31 (booked before the change announcement) and only got the 2.25 multiplier for Elite miles. First leg got the 2.625x but return the 2.25x.
Agreed that it should be the 1.5 x 1.75 (previous I class) = 2.625 multiplier. Will be curious what you hear.

No, it was added all in one line (Base + Bonus = Total Miles)
As a 75K on an I fare, I did in fact get the 1.5 x 1.5 for EQMs. For RDMs, the multiplier works out to 2.75x vs the old 3.0x for I fares.

Long thread I didn't read it all but I skimmed it.
FYI: My flight in paid F ( D class) on 31 March got the new formula for RDMs.The website today shows the new formula was to take affect on 31 March.
Based on that flight, I expect credits for future flights to use the new formula.

Waiting to see what the outcome will be. Several flights booked before announcement of COS bonus change. Most flights were booked in December 2020.
Not happy that AS continued to promote COS bonus for First (I fares) as 75%, until end of March.

"Plus, you’ll earn 75% more Mileage Plan bonus miles with your First Class ticket purchase."
It's very deceiving. It should say "up to 75%" and/or include an asterisk that details that only full fare F tickets earn 75%.

edit due to PMs:
Offer is open to anyone. If you feel that you were incorrectly denied the 75% CoS bonus for EQMs feel free to PM me and I'll pass it along. 🤙🏻

They are still promoting the 75% bonus (https://www.alaskaair.com/content/tr...ce/first-class)

I was told that the 50% EQM promo only applies to base miles and not to the COS bonus.
So Base + .75 Base + .5 Base is the correct EQM amount owed for I class purchased before the devaluation.
Was the agent incorrect?
