Reminder: you must enroll and select AS as your airline BEFORE making a reimbursable purchase. Click HERE to enroll.
As of June 2017 gift certificates are no longer reimbursed. Link to buy gift certicates

According to this thread in the Alaska forum the reimbursement of Alaska Club memberships is no longer a problem. To see how much of your annual credit you've used, log in to AmEx, select the card in question, choose "Membership->Benefits" off the menu bar, scroll down to see the travel credit benefit. (with thanks to Lumpylump76)

Tickets cancelled within 24 hours are refunded back to the card used for the purchase. Tickets for travel dates > 60 days out can be deposited to your wallet when cancelled (this has not been true for some time). Change fees may apply depending on your status. Change fees are waived for MVP Gold and MVP Gold 75k members according to this page: https://www.alaskaair.com/content/mi...ID:MileagePlan (expand "service benefits" towards the bottom of the page). The wallet funds will expire one year after the issue date of the original ticket.

Which site?

Did you buy GC through the AS website or a different one? Looking at adding this airline as my preferred.

Thanks

It doesn't look like I'm going to be reimbursed for my taxes/fees associated with the use of the companion pass. The charge posted on 1/10 and it looks exactly the same as the charge for the first ticket. Charge shows as Alaska Airlines Web - Seattle WA. Category is Travel - Airline. Under document type, both say "Passenger Ticket"

Since I don't have status with AS, I'll be able to use the credit for our bag fees and in flight refreshments so I'll still get my $200 worth (there are 4 of us) but wanted to let others know.

Alaska Certs

How many certs can you use per ticket?

Found the answer:

Can I use multiple gift certificates at one time?

Yes. You can redeem up to four gift certificates per reservation. Any unused funds will remain on the gift certificate, and remain available for use on a later purchase. If you have a My Account profile on alaskaair.com, you may also deposit an unlimited number of gift certificates into your My Wallet.

Damn - why did yours get refunded but mine did not? I may call them and try to make a case for it since it is really a fee to use the pass and not a ticket cost.

I think this was directed at me? I did not bother to call since we have a flight coming up and will have to pay baggage fees for 4 people X 3 flights it will be more than $200 so I'll wait and get my $200 credit then. Even though it works out the same, it will make the baggage fees less annoying.

Just found out that I only will need to pay for checking the bags on 2 of the flights, not 3. We have a 14 hour overnight layover on our flight to OGG and the CSR said if we show our receipts from the BOS-PDX leg we will not have to pay again for the PDX-OGG leg. So, 4 ppl X 2 flights = $160 in fees. Gift certificates are only available in $25 increments. If I have $40 in airline credit left after this trip and buy a $50 cert will I get a $40 credit?

I may not need this if we buy anything on the flights but just in case...
