In February 2022 Alaska is rolling out a new top level FF status level, MVP Gold 100K. Previously the highest status has been MVP Gold 75K. A summary of benefits and perks is below. If you go to the webpage, you many need to scroll down, and there are separate links for perks on Alaska and Oneworld.



There isn't a huge difference in perks right now. 100K members go to the top of the priority list for complimentary upgrades, they get 25% more bonus miles than 75Ks, if they're in Coach they get a complimentary food service, and they can get two international upgrade certificates on American Airlines (instead of one for 75Ks). Both 75K and 100k are Emerald status in Oneworld. The announcements says that additional perks for 100K members will be rolled out in 2022, though.

There is negligible chance we'll ever fly enough for 100K status. However, the extension of current elite status and other measures to keep elite status are very welcome.
We've made it easier for you to get to status for 2022. Earn 50% more Mileage Plan elite-qualifying miles (EQM)  for Alaska Airlines flights now extended through December 31, 2021. No registration required. For members who held elite status as of January 1, 2021 that are unable to re-qualify by year end 2021, we will extend your status through April 30, 2022***. You'll have another opportunity to retain your status by flying January - April 2022. Look for more details later this year.
We made gold for the first time in 2019 and would likely miss the lowest MVP by a bit in 2021 but for the extra help. Alaska Airlines rocks.
The extension is only available for current elite holders who all got an email so this info is useless for everyone else.

A good friend qualified for Alaska 75K Gold last weekend. He has a very good shot at the 100K before year-end. I wouldn't give a plugged nickel for AA international after they lost our bags last month.

I made Gold 75K for the first time in 2019. That got extended into 2021, but it's doubtful that I will make it even with the extension. I'm on track to be MVP Gold though.

I’m at 39,000 miles and have a flight to Hawaii at the end of October to Hawaii. That will bump me to Gold again and wife to MVP again. I might have gotten close to 75k had Alaska not cancelled the SAN-FLL and LAX-TPA routes. The rental car issue didn’t help. I used to rent a car for $50 and drive to a further airport so I could get the non stop. Not worth it at $150.
