Alaska Airlines has added some new benefits for its top tier MVP Gold 100K members, a status that was newly introduced into the Mileage Plan program late last year. MVP Gold 100K is Alaska Airlines’ highest elite status tier, and it comes with a host of benefits to make travel better.
To earn Alaska MVP Gold 100K is no easy feat — you need to fly at least 100,000 miles a year on Alaska or partner airlines or fly 140 segments, with at least 24 of those flights being on an actual Alaska Airlines plane. You can compare this to the next down tier of MVP 75K where you only need to fly 75,000 miles or 90 segments, with 12 flights being on Alaska. Clearly, this top-tier status is meant to match similar requirements that have been published by American, United, and Delta.
