I have not always used my 75K ability to nominate someone to MVP. Sometimes that was an unforced error on my part, as in I forwent earning 25% bonus miles on tickets I bought for a child or partner because I forgot about it. So my experience supports breakage at 75K MVP nomination... and I can say that I haven't nominated anyone yet this time around, either.

But I would hypothesize that there will be little breakage for 100K Gold nominations since you have to explicitly elect this option and forgo 50,000 RDM and lounge membership. So you probably have someone in mind.

I choose the Lounge+ Choice option
Does anyone know how long it will be before before it is activated?
I have seen some prior posts where if you had an existing or prior Wallet Card that it was updated.
Unfortunately, that is not my case.
Thanks

I chose Lounge+ and the update was immediate for me, when viewing the lounge pass via the "view account" tab in the app.

The lounge pass I had in my Apple wallet did not update immediately, but when I went into the app and re-added the pass to my wallet, it did update.

It looks like my email stopped accepting emails as I didn’t clean out Google space so it probabaly got denied.

any way to get a new email or do I call in. Is there a link to a landing page to sign in?

100K Choice Benefit Selection (Not Working)

I got this e-mail on Jan. 11:



But when I click through I get this message:


Has anyone else encountered this? AS IT at its best! Apologies if this has been covered already.

Look higher in the thread. Different browsers have issues. Same with adblockers and other privacy tools.

Thanks so much - I switched to Firefox from Chrome and it worked. Chose the 50K miles and they posted immediately. This is why I love Flyertalk!

I was feeling left out, because I didn't get any email, either! I could have waited a bit longer, but with a trip coming up in a few days, I decided to call in today and inquire. The agent could not see that any 100K choice email was sent to me, but she was able to confirm my status and allow me to make my selection.

Maybe they haven't gotten around to sending all the emails yet, but if you need it sooner, you might as well as well give them a call.

I never received the email, even though I was qualified. I don't know what is an effective way to contact Alaska about why I didn't receive an email.

I got the link from my partner (who also qualified and received an email.) I got error messages. After reading about browser issues, I was able to make it work on my phone.

Overall this is a pretty lame experience. I hope that AS will take it upon themselves to investiage why emails were not sent and why there were browser problems. Unless the intention is to maxmiize breakage.

Most airports I visited have Amex or Priority Pass lounges, chose the 50k miles which potentially has much higher value.

I never got the e-mail, but had an chat representative give it me when I asked.

Definitely weird; and it should be public, like the MVP nomination form.

I know it’s all speculation at this point, but do we know when we can expect the AA SWU’s? Looking back at my email from last year, the first mention of the code came around April.

As a bonus question, I’ve just learned that AA elites can use their SWU’s on BA flights. Are there any DP’s of AS elites doing the same?
