Alaska Airlines Russell Wilson Auction

Alaska Airlines Russell Wilson Auction

I received an email today inviting me to bid on the Alaska Airlines Russell Wilson Auction.  In order to participate, you must be a current Mileage Plan Gold or Gold 75K member.  You can “bid” with your miles for an evening with Seattle Seahawks Quarterback Russell Wilson, aka Alaska’s Chief Football Officer, on July 9th.  It sounds like besides getting some tips on playing football from Russell, you also get a catered dinner from Tom Douglas (who designed the inflight menu for Alaska flights).

The top 5 bidders of the Alaska Airlines Russell Wilson Auction will win two tickets to the event.  All the miles will be donated to Seattle Children’s Hospital.  I’m not exactly sure what this means.  Maybe the miles will be used to fly patients and their families in for treatment.  Or maybe Alaska will donate a dollar amount for each mile.  It isn’t clear form the website.

If you are interested in bidding (and promise I will be your plus one), you can do so here.  Right now in order to be in the top 5 bids you need to bid at least 225,000 miles.  Bidding closes at 3:00pm on Friday June 24.

The full Q&A on the Alaska Airlines Russell Wilson Auction is available here.
