A Challenge For You

Alaska just sent me, and presumably a whole lot of other East Coasters, a status challenge. I’m going to TRY to qualify for this if at all possible, because Alaska MVP Gold status is particularly awesome and I’ve previously exhausted my once per lifetime status match.

MVP Gold, which requires 4 round trips to CA in the timeframe, is where the magic happens with both upgrades and free changes/cancellations.

That said, I have a pretty intense travel schedule during these months, so I may well fall short.

It does not appear you need to have been sent the email. You just need to live in a qualifying state – as per the address on your Alaska account.
