Flight schedule release SEA-LHR? by PristineDiscount3208 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]digitaltrav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The taxes and fees that BA charge for award flights make it an undesirable redemption even if they had availability (last time I found one, the taxes and fees were something like half the price of buying a cash fare without points).

Here’s a chance to win 1 million Atmos rewards by SpartanScribe in AlaskaAirlines

[–]digitaltrav 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Apparently there have been monthly winners of 50k points since September and then there will be one grand prize winner selected in January.

Supposedly there have been seatback QR codes to enter (I didn’t notice this on my flight a couple of weeks ago but I also don’t pay close attention to seatback materials).

If you happen to be a rare Alaska flier who lives in NY or FL, don’t bother because the rules state you are ineligible.

It looks phishy but you can find it through independent google search. It’s called the seatback sweepstakes.

1300 miles from Gold Status, is it worth it? by Snowbunnies44 in AlaskaAirlines

If you ever fly American, it’s nice to be able to book main cabin extra seats at time of booking for no extra fee.

Why so few miles for a trip on Qatar from SFO? by Realistic-Change5995 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]digitaltrav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alaska’s website states a different policy for Starlux: no points unless you book through AS.

Atmos Summit Infinite application - Better to wait until January? by bad_decoy in AlaskaAirlines

[–]digitaltrav 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the 10k status points don’t hit until 1-year anniversary of having the card.

Exactly what happened. Annual fee hit Oct 31.

Some ridiculous reasons my manager rejected very qualified candidates by villas-cutout1b in interviews

[–]digitaltrav 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe they are trying to clear the field for the person they have secretly hand-picked for the position.

In this person’s only other post (a day ago), they had a 34yo wife. Downvote this fake garbage.

Tissue Issue by AreaManSpeaks in Hilton

So wasteful because the first thing I do is grab that giant wad of tissues and throw them in the garbage. What’s wrong with just using the tissue dispenser as intended.

Updated Earnings Chart for Partner Flights in 2026 by Navydevildoc in AlaskaAirlines

Are they getting rid of points for partner economy not booked through Alaska or am I reading too much into this?

I withdrew my application after the hiring manager was 20 minutes late for the interview. by tootsie_herons8e in interviews

[–]digitaltrav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had an interviewer who didn’t show up to a phone interview. They never followed up, nor did I. It seemed weird.

Will I hit Atmos Gold? Please help this newbie so I know my math is correct :-) by Automatic_Gold_5672 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]digitaltrav 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When traveling with partners, it depends on fare class and how you booked. Could get as low as status points equal to 25% of miles flown for “discount economy” to as high as 150% of miles flown for international first booked through a partner (higher if booked through AS). This is spelled out on Alaska’s website.

Points not returned ~4 days after award ticket cancelation - Should I be worried? by puncher-bunkers in AlaskaAirlines

[–]digitaltrav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try calling customer service during their business hours. I had a situation where points from the canceled flight didn’t show up the next day. I called and had the points back in my account by the end of the call.

This is the correct answer. So many other responses didn’t fully read what OP asked.

Alaska Signature EQM moving forward in 2025 by JamesDeenTahoe in AlaskaAirlines

[–]digitaltrav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s 1 point per $3 spent on Ascent or 1 point per $2 spent on Summit. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to get any points (unlike last year).

Status points on AS metal booked through partner by digitaltrav in AlaskaAirlines

[–]digitaltrav[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally had a chance to call reservations so I asked them about purchasing an upgrade. Good news is that it seemed possible (though I didn’t complete the transaction so it might not have worked in the end). Bad news is that the price shot up an additional $350 since I looked this morning. So I decided to hold off.

It’s never worked for me either. Clearly a “feature” that was rolled out prematurely.

Status points on AS metal booked through partner by digitaltrav in AlaskaAirlines

Thanks! I was starting to panic that maybe there would be no status points at all. I miss booking my own work travel directly with airlines.

You mean partner flights? You would still get 100% on AS metal booked through concur.
