I read this promo as the first two 1-way flights into or out of PAE will count for this promo; i.e. it does not have to be a round trip ticket nor do the two airports to/from PAE need to be the same. e.g. PHX-PAE/PAE-SFO should work even if booked as two separate 1-way tickets. Am I misinterpreting?

Thanks to this thread, I signed up yesterday for the promo since I have a GEG-PAE flight in September.
Well, I did have that flight. Today it was canceled. Guess it is back to GEG-SEA since there are no longer direct flights between GEG and PAE that day. Maybe someday I'll visit PAE...

I didn't know it was just announced July 6th. I figured we were just a little slow seeing it here on FT. I should have known better! I agree that this makes a strong case for retroactive credit for anyone who took flights prior to the announcement. If anyone tries, please let us know what happens.
I have replied "I understand the literal part of your response; however, it's rather odd to announce a promo six weeks after it actually starts ,,, furthermore, AS needs to make sure that the IT department puts these sort of promo announcements on the AS app when they appear on the full website"
we shall see ...

well, I emailed Customer Service about this and just received "sorry, flights before you registered don't qualify"

Does anyone remember when AS would exercise some reasonable flexibility and leeway while assisting elites? I miss those days. The more common AS-pax interaction now seems to be less generous or helpful.

But it seems like someone dropped the ball here, and the least they should have done at the time of discovery (when they finally published the promo) is that they should have adjusted the promo dates to avoid annoying customers who they perhaps intended to be delighted with the offer.

What about the new PAE-ANC flight? Would those be eligible for the bonus EQM? Would I need to flying in and out of PAE to get the double EQMs or could I fly PAE-ANC, ANC-SEA?

The promo counts for your first 2 non-stop flights between PAE and the listed cities, so you'd only receive the EQM bonus on the PAE-ANC leg (assuming ANC is indeed included).

ANC isn't yet formally listed as being included in the promo, but in another FT thread someone said they called and received confirmation that it's valid. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/34567169-post73.html
