Atmos Rewards members can earn 500 status points for every $100 spent on any combination of SAF through Alaska Airlines, up to a maximum of 5,000 status points through December 31, 2025. Status points earned from SAF contributions can only be added to one Atmos Rewards account per booking. No partial awards of points will be made on increments of less than $100. Members must include their Atmos Rewards number at checkout. Status points count toward Atmos Rewards status qualification for the 2025 calendar year, but are non-redeemable and cannot be used toward award travel. All Atmos Rewards and status points terms and conditions apply.

Sigh. Three of my previous batches were a month +/- a day or two from closing of the statement on which I crossed the milestone, and one was about two weeks, but I’m past two months and still waiting for the last batch. From the various reports in various threads, it seems to be somewhat random.

I'm assuming you're talking about the EQMs from credit card statements, my question was about the "sustainable aviation credits". I'm curious how long it takes from when I click "buy" and when the EQMs post. I need only 900ish EQMs, so this seems perfect for me if they post before year end!

Wondering the same.. Anyone purchased the SAF credits in the last few weeks / months and have data points on how long they took to post? I know they'll count based on purchase date either way, but would love to see my MVPG status for next year before 2025.

Updated data point here - I can report that for me, the EQMs for the SAF purchase posted in 7 days after purchase. The EQMs were back dated to the date of purchase (November 30th). I’d say that’s pretty good.

Thanks! I asked customer care yesterday when getting some missing partner credit and she thought 4+ weeks and it was likely to be early/mid Jan before I see them. But if your experience is more common, I'll see them post this week.

4K hit my account today which put me over the top for MVP Gold. Yea!!!

I was a bit surprised as the statement only just closed 07 Dec. and RDM deposit on the same date (IME the EQM posting trails at end of month).

BofA card now goes back to the sock drawer.

Thank you for posting this! Im currently projected to be 37 miles away from hitting MVP Gold 75k. You saved me the headache of changing my flight next week from NRT-SEA nonstop to HND-DFW-SEA to help reach 75k!!!

Got my 3rd yesterday, which was for early August! Waiting on 4th, for October and 5th, for November. Guess I won't see them until Spring of 2025

Had not seen that one! Tempting as my son needs 100 EQM to achieve MVP.

I am not seeing any other ways to earn EQM short of actual BIS flying or via credit card spend but maybe I'm missing one???
