How will Alaska’s new “choose how you earn status” rules affect early 2026 flights?

Trying to figure out what happens before Alaska’s new “choose how you earn status” system kicks in. The site just says it’s coming later in 2026.


I’ve got a BA SFO–LHR business class flight in February 2026, booked through Alaska. Did the same trip this year and got 250% status miles. But with the new changes coming, I can’t tell if that will still apply for early 2026 flights or not.


Anyone know if distance-based earning stays the same until the update officially launches?
