More MVP Gold 100K benefits to come.

MVP Gold 100K will launch by the end of January 2021.


Notes:
  • It seems the 24 AS segments required will not include the rollover of AS segments from 2020 for qualification based on 2021 flying. Though notequiteaff reports that the twitter team said they do in post 154, an email reported by tonylop33 in post 178 indicates otherwise. Given that the email is from the director of the loyalty program management, it is safer to assume that only 2021 AS segments will count.
  • Since December 12 2021, the full website of Alaska shows the number of EQMs, the number of segments on partner airlines and Alaska, and a separate count of Alaska marketed and operated flights.

I've been flying AA (and the wonderful A321) to Boston from LA or SNA via JFK. I wonder if they frown upon status matches within OneWorld.....
They don’t do status matches, they do challenges. But have fun with the new LP system if it works for you.

Honestly unless you’re out of SAN and like the daily flight times (I do) it’s time to look at someone else if schedule is your most important factor

Was such a new thread created, and if not, would you consider updating [...]?

I just created the 100K Qualification Roll Call thread. Personally, I like keeping the 75K thread also.

Moderator Note

A fair number of posts discussing 100K qualification have been moved to MVPG100K Qualification and Roll Call (2022) - FlyerTalk Forums and a couple have been deleted.

100K threads are the new COVID threads. They can veer south very quickly.

Hope this is the right thread to ask .... just wanna double check if I'm doing math correct

100K members get 150% bonus RDM - so if I fly another 100K miles next year, does that mean I'll end up getting 100K + (100K * 1.5) + 50K (bonus for crossing 75K) = 300K rdm?

Yes, your math is correct. You'll also get more miles if you buy F fares.

I wonder if we will be able to order snacks for free in Y next January or if instead we need to wait until February

I'm flying Jan 7th and the web and app for my reservation have the standard pre-order pricing.

AS will retroactively give you the snacks in Feb for any flights taken in Jan.

This must be part of the whole "3D printing" think I keep hearing about I'll just print out my own cheese plate at home!

Actually if you fly F, the math gets more tricky... You'd only have to fly a bit less than 67k BIS, so you'd get 1.5x67k + 1.5x67k + 50k = 251k rdm 😉

I thought the 50k rdm for hitting 75k was going away next year? I must have misread that?

Nope, the 50k RDM is still there. Link to the benefits page, to include a separate row specifically for this: https://www.alaskaair.com/content/mi...rship-benefits

Great, thank you. Happy to be wrong in this case!

Am I the only one who is going to be refreshing the app tonight at midnight to see if my status will show 100K (even though I'm fully aware that it won't and that it doesn't kick in until later in January)?
