*All members who have one million lifetime flight miles on Alaska flights 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 nontransferable. Your companion must be an enrolled member of the Mileage Plan 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 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. All Mileage Plan terms and conditions apply.
