Alaska Airlines has long offered various fast-track opportunities to Silver <\/mark><\/strong>status through its partners. In the past, there have also been quite a few little “loopholes” that accidentally made these offers available to everyone. Now there is another one, although this time there is a bit of a barrier to entry, so I thought I\u2019d still share it with you. Many thanks to reader @\u6995\u9f99 for the tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time, the partner in question is AT&T, and you can find the promotion page here<\/a>. In short, AT&T employees can register to receive 180 days of Alaska Atmos Silver status, along with a challenge to retain or upgrade the status. Verification is done using an AT&T corporate email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the accepted email domains include both @att.com and @att.net<\/strong> \u2014 and the latter can actually be registered by anyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply head to the AT&T website and choose to create a new email address. There are two domains to choose from, one of which is @att.net:<\/p>\n\n\n

There is a catch, though: you must have a US mobile phone number<\/strong> to receive the SMS code when registering, so there is still a barrier to entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The website’s firewall also seems to be fairly strict. I initially couldn’t get past the next step at all; after turning on a VPN I finally managed to register, only to find that I couldn’t log in afterwards no matter what I tried. What a pain! That said, it seems that most people have been able to get it working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have the email address sorted, the rest is straightforward. Register on the Alaska Airlines website and verify your account through the email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alaska’s Silver status is equivalent to oneworld Ruby<\/mark><\/strong>, so when flying partners such as Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, British Airways and Qatar Airways, you can enjoy benefits including free seat selection, priority check-in at business-class counters and priority boarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits aren’t particularly extensive, but they are quite useful. Being able to select a seat for free seven days before departure on British Airways, for example, is pretty handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you actually have the opportunity to fly Alaska Airlines, completing the flight challenge during those 180 days can allow you to retain your status or move up to a higher tier. For example, four round trips can earn you Gold status, equivalent to oneworld Sapphire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
