Just got an email from Alaska offering a chance to buy up to the next status level if you’re within 5k miles. I’m Gold and about 5k short of Platinum, and my offer was $1250 or 125k miles.
What stood out is you have until Jan 30 to do it, so it feels like a last chance option for anyone who barely missed their target. Not cheap, but I can see this being tempting for people who came up short at the end of the year
