How to earn Alaska status in 2021
Before we dive into this post, let’s take a look at Alaska’s elite status qualification requirements for 2021.
MVP: 20,000 elite-qualifying miles or 30 segments
MVP Gold: 40,000 elite-qualifying miles or 60 segments
MVP Gold 75K: 75,000 elite-qualifying miles or 90 segments
You must also fly a minimum number of Alaska Airlines segments to earn or retain status: two for MVP, four for MVP Gold and six for MVP Gold 75K.
Alaska normally has higher mileage thresholds for those that chase status by taking a combination of Alaska- and partner-operated flights, but that is not the case next year. Any status earned in 2021 will be valid through Dec. 31, 2022.
