In a bind a bit; my companion fare is expiring in May of 2019.  My only potential upcoming use is to try to book 2 persons one way ewr-san.  I have approx 30,000 miles but the problem is alaska does not permit the use of the free companion fare with an award ticket(paid flight is very expensive on the date I want them to fly so not worth using companion fare).  is it worth calling alaska? any workarounds, suggestions etc..?

what would happen to my companion voucher  if I book a 1 ticket and a companion ticket and then cancel within 24 hours?

Married Segments Q:

I found CX F Availability TLV-HKG-JFK (TLV-HKG in J). I'd like to stopover in HKG for a week. There is no F availability from HKG alone without starting at TLV (married segments). There is availability on the date I want to depart TLV & HKG if using TLV as the origin.

How can I request AS to book the award with a stopover in HKG in this case?

Bonus Q: Can I get AS to break the married segment if I only want the HKG - JFK segment?

Call and see what they can do, is the space showing on QF and BA?

Showing on QF. I have not seen CX show on BA at all for a while. Seems like another IT issue

Update, it is possible to book the trip with a stopover even if the separate segments won't show up. As long as there is availability on both dates for each individual segment, they will book it

Buy something and click through their shopping portal. How much time do you have?

Thank you yelped! I did not know about their shopping portal. I have almost 40K points - would hate to lose them.
How long does it takes to post?

Depends on which store you used, typically within a few business days.

Thank you.

Just for future information (in case someone else have this question/problem) I was also able to use points to purchase magazine. The points were deducted right away on magsformiles.com For additional details see website https://www.dansdeals.com/points-travel/milespoints/mileage-expiration-guide-for-38-loyalty-programs-how-to-keep-your-points-from-expiring-and-how-to-bring-them-back-to-life-after-theyve-expired/

I had an acct that i realized that points are  due to expire on 2/1  for no use in 24 months and i quickly redeemed for a magazine subscription on 2/2  now my question if i am safe?
p.s. it shows the redemption already dated 2/3 and the points are still in the acct.

I accidentally let DW's account expire a month ago. Realized it today. She called and without any pushing they reinstated her miles and added 1 mile today to reset the 24-month clock.
