Did you know that you could share your elite status for life as a Million Miler with Alaska Airlines? Share the higher of your lifetime elite status or annual earned status with someone who is in your household — for life.
Did You Know You Could Share Your Elite Status For Life As a Million Miler With This Airline?
Simply enter the details of your Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan membership account — along with the name and the Mileage Plan membership account number of your nominee.
Please note that it may take up to six weeks to process your nomination. After the initial nomination, the status of your nominee will automatically be updated each January going forward.
All members who have one million lifetime flight miles on Alaska fights are guaranteed MVP Gold status each year, and have the option to extend the higher of that status, or a higher earned status if applicable, to one companion who resides at the same home address on an annual basis.
The companion benefit is awarded on an annual basis and is not transferable. Your companion must be an enrolled member of the Mileage Plan membership program under his or her own name and may not already be the companion of another Million Miler.
If your companion earns a higher elite level, your account status will not change.
Once a companion is designated, it will automatically renew each year. You may change the companion on your membership account; however, the change will not be in effect until January 1 of the following year.
Companion status is based on the Million Miler status at the end of each calendar year; mid-year status changes for companions cannot be accommodated. Shareable benefits expire upon the death of the Million Miler or failure of the companion to meet the eligibility requirements.
Other terms and conditions of the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan membership program apply.
Final Boarding Call
This seems to be a unique feature of the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan membership program which was introduced earlier this year and a good one of which to take advantage — if you happen to have earned Million Miler status and have someone in your household with whom you would like to share your status.
