It’s common for airlines to offer some sort of status challenge or status match program, in order to lure frequent flyers who are loyal to competing airlines, but are considering a switch. In the United States, most major airlines offer some sort of a status match challenge opportunity, including American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, and United.
In this post, I want to take a look at the program offered by Alaska Airlines for 2025, especially with the recent introduction of the Atmos Rewards program (replacing the former Mileage Plan program).
Once you’ve successfully enrolled in an Alaska Atmos Rewards status match challenge, your status will be valid for 90 days, and then you can maintain your status with further qualifying activity.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
