Solid app but the rewards program needs more value
After the Alaska + Hawaiian merger, a lot of us expected stronger benefits. Right now it still feels light in a few key areas:
• Hotel benefits are weak. Transfer options are nice, but automatic status or upgrades with major chains (especially Hilton) would make a real difference.
• Lounge access is limited. Eight day passes on the Summit card isn’t enough to justify the high annual fee for many people.
• Mid-tier status (Silver/Gold) needs better everyday perks for regular flyers.
• The Summit credit card needs stronger exclusive benefits to match its $395 price.
The foundation is there. The app is fine. The program just needs more substance and better value if it wants members to stay engaged long-term.
Nothing works
Browser and then browser suggests the app. PE is lending the company money for its bleeding revenue -
Due to board decisions. Another one about to bite the dust.
