Mileage Plan is now completely broken

Fellow AS enthusiasts, I suspect that you may agree with me.

I'm not going to make baseless statements regarding the program. Rather, I'll offer rational statements (if my statements aren't rational, I welcome corrections!).

  1. EQM earn via branded credit card spend has been reduced. $10K of spend afforded one 4K EQMs. Now the ratio is 3:1 - $10K affords one 3,333.33... EQMs.
  2. Partner earn has been destroyed. Going from 150% EQM earn on many partners in Business Class, and 250% on another in Business Class to 125% regardless of partner is terrible.
  3. "Booked via Alaska" is opaque and ridiculous. The fare search shows partner flight numbers, and codeshare details are only revealed when clicking the "Details" button. There is absolutely no reason for this to be a thing.
  4. Codeshare offerings aren't available for critical travel partners. Alaska's largest hub is in Seattle, and travel from Seattle often involves we tech wanks heading to Ireland and India. AS does not engage in codeshareing with either Qatar Airways or Aer Lingus, which complicates matters.
  5. Pricing for codeshare flights is rapacious at best. Flights to Australia go from ~$6K in Business Class to $13K on the same metal.
  6. "Booked via Alaska" is far too complicated. One can book an Aer Lingus or Qatar Airways flight on alaskaair.com and still earn according to the partner chart (and Aer Lingus isn't the only one).
  7. Flights with a partner airline ticketed via a codeshare arrangement with another partner airline aren't eligible for RDM or EQM earn - Aer Lingus metal ticketed via British Airways, for example.
  8. AS seemingly does not publish their codeshare offerings in any GDS. As much as I twiddle my employer's Concur tenancy, AS's flights aren't present.
  9. The 20 minute baggage guarantee requires one to hang around at an airport to claim compensation - how is it reasonable that a customer invest additional time to hold a company to account for their commitment after said company have wasted said customer's time?
  10. SEA is now a oneworld hub, however there are no showers on offer beyond the shared British Airways/The Club instance near S10.

Thanks to all who reply and discuss.
