My alaska airlines miles expired due to 2 yr inactivity on the account. Any one had any success getting them back without a reinstatement fee?

Have you tried emailing your travel manager? They sometimes have pull with airline reps.

I thought they don't expire

Update: called Alaska customer care. Miles expire after 24 months of inactivity and they reinstate the miles for a $75 fee, if you call them within a year of expiry. However they waived the fee for me and reinstated the miles.

I have to travel to my client every week and the client’s office is attached to a very nice hotel that’s $250 per night. There’s a hotel right across the street that’s $150 per night.. it’s alright, but not as great. Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?

I doubt it's required at most firms but I'm a pretty senior staff and when I speak with Partners, they seem to speak with an MBA level of business knowledge which extends past their technical skillset.
