The fastest status this card produces needs no flying at all: the Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite (Bank of America) earns 
Alaska Atmos Gold (MVP Gold) purely off card spend. You get 10,000 status points on your account anniversary plus one status point for every $2 charged, uncapped, and the 2026 Gold threshold of 40,000 status points works out to roughly $60,000 in annual spend on the card alone.
From Alaska Gold, two more airline matches open. United honors it for 
Premier Gold — 120 days complimentary once you take an activating flight, extendable through January 2028 if you earn 10 Premier qualifying flights and 3,400 Premier qualifying points inside that window (flight segments are required; spend alone doesn't count toward the extension). United only accepts these match requests through December 21, 2026, and you also need to enroll by December 31, 2026 for status to run through January 2028; you're ineligible if you've matched with United in the past three years or taken a United status exception in the past five. JetBlue matches the same Alaska Gold into Mosaic 1, which carries one step further into Southwest A-List under Southwest's own chart; keeping Mosaic 1 means clearing a three-month tile challenge, and Southwest's matching promotion runs through December 30, 2026.
United Premier Gold is also the gateway to the car-rental side of the ladder: it matches into 
National Emerald Club's Executive Elite tier, which then forks into status at three brands at once — 
Avis President's Club, 
Hertz President's Circle, and 
Sixt Platinum — and Hertz's President's Circle carries one step further into 
Enterprise Plus Platinum. Each car-rental leg has its own renewal window and paperwork, mapped in full below, but one restriction is worth flagging up front: matching National status into Hertz can only be done once every five years, so it's better saved for when you actually want President's Circle rather than spent on a status you'd get free anyway.
