Nice job Alaska, I will be seeking another airline next time.

I don't think you were given the whole story. Why would they not accept the credit card? It's actually easier than a cash transaction. As a matter of fact all on-board purchases on Alaska Airlines are now cashless. Something just doesn't add up. Was the card declined by the Alaska agent or by the bank when they tried to get approval?
