I have a $50 Alaska coupon code for sale. Asking $35 OBO. Expires March 31, can be used for flights up to 330 days out.

It looks like this coupon is specific to my account and the terms do say that the recipient needs to be traveling but if anyone has experience with these coupons and knows how to get around that, feel free to PM me and I'd be happy to work with you.

I have a 7 night cert attached to EUGENIA DE MONTIJO, from before the merger when the cert was 1-5. As it is coming up soon and I didnt want to detach it for fear of having it reduced to a 1-4, I was going to change the nights of my stay. When I went online to do it, it showed that, while my initial "cost" was 270k points for the 7 night stay, it is not 210k points for 7 nights, for the new dates that I selected. It showed that 60k points will be redeposited. Does that actually happen? Will I actually get 60k points?

Also, any advice for the best approach to take with an old 1-5 cert to maximize the value?

Bump

Any additional thoughts on this? I just want to know if I would actually receive a 60k refund if I do this and if it would affect my certificate in any way.

Call the hotel directly and ask them to change it. Make sure the dates available with the same room type.

Why would i do that if I can just do it online (and potentially get 60k points deposited in my account)?

They have no way of deactivating your card. If you are no longer paying for the card, you would not be listed as an AU.

Right, I am no longer listed as an AU. Does that mean i won't be covered if i use my card for a car rental in israel?

If my wife has a CSR card and I was an additional cardholder but removed myself, will my card still be able to get coverage for a rental car in israel? My card is valid and still works.

Thanks both very much for your help. Which flight are you referring to that leaves YUL at 130? I dont see any flight at 130 from YUL to EWR. Are you referring to 7740 at 145? So are you saying, if I see that that flight is delayed, I can ask them in EWR to book me on a united flight direct to israel?

Looking for some opinions about a flight I booked, not realizing a potential connection issue. I am flying on an Air Canada flight from EWR to TLV, with a 41 minute stopover in YUL (7741 to YUL and 082 to TLV), giving me roughly 25 minutes to make my connecting flight. It looks like the EWR-YUL flight has a high delay rate but the YUL-TLV doesnt. Does anyone have experience with this flight? I didn't even think when I was booking it, I guess I just assumed if it was available, it should not be an issue. I called AC and was told that it sounds very short but is within the "legal stopover" timeframe and that my baggage would be going straight through to TLV. This almost seems unlikely since they hardly have time to get my bags from one plane to the next. Would appreciate any input. Thanks.
