We've cancelled our Alaska cards after nearly 20 years in favor of Capitol One. We've been using Capitol One exclusively for foreign travel because they don't charge foreign exchange fees but are now using it as our everyday card. We’ve used them in SXM, Canada, Mexico and Europe without any problems.
With Alaska's decreases in benefits (no more Board Room passes, no more 1st class upgrades or companion fares and decreased flight availability), it doesn’t make sense to pay $75/yr to earn mileage we can’t use. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cloud.gif" alt="" />
