Kavita led a comprehensive class on earning ATMOS status with Alaska Airlines, covering six main ways to accumulate status points including booking eligible flights, credit card spend, shopping portals, Lyft rides, dining programs, and Opinion Terminal surveys. She explained the different status tiers from Member (0-20,000 points) to Platinum (80,000 points), demonstrating how status points are earned based on distance flown and cabin class for paid flights, while award flights only earn status points based on distance traveled. Kavita shared specific examples from her own travel, including how she recently achieved Gold status after a flight from LA to JFK, and discussed strategies like family pooling and using the Merrill Lynch relationship bonus to increase point earnings. The class also covered the three ATMOS credit cards, with the Summit card offering the best value at one status point per two dollars spent, and included practical tips about booking partner flights and maximizing various earning opportunities through the Alaska ecosystem.
