Today Only! Get A 70% Bonus When You Purchase Alaska Miles
Alaska Airlines has begun rolling out their new award chart and will complete that process by 3/31. Awards will drop to as low as 4,500 miles each way!
Ending soon, you can get 70,000 bonus miles plus Alaska’s Famous Companion Fare™ ($99 fare plus taxes and fees from $23) by spending $3,000 or more in purchases within 90 days of opening the Alaska Airlines Visa® Credit Card. You can read more here.
Login here and you will get a 70% bonus when you purchase Alaska miles. You can buy up to 170,000 miles per transaction for $2,750+$206.25 tax=$2,956.25. That sale ends tonight at 11:59pm PT.
That comes out to 1.739 cents per mile.
Alaska elites have no annual limit on the number of miles which may be purchased. If you are not an Elite Member, your account may only be credited up to a maximum total of 150,000 miles in a calendar year. Bonus miles do not count toward the maximum total of 150,000 miles, so with a 70% bonus, you can buy up to 255K miles per calendar year.
You can status match from other airlines to Alaska.
Sample cost for awards when buying miles:
- A short-haul flight on AA will cost 4.5K miles + $18 in coach or 9K miles + $18 in business class. If you buy the miles for 1.739 cents each, that’s like paying $96 in coach or $174 in business.
- You can fly El Al from Tel Aviv to Venice for 7.5K miles + $44 in coach or for 15K miles + $44 in business class. If you buy the miles for 1.739 cents each, that’s like paying $174 in coach or $304 in business. El Al charges $277 in coach or $933 in business for those flights.
- You can fly from JFK to Tel Aviv on 9/8 for 35K miles + $22 in coach, 45K miles + $22 in premium economy, or for 70K miles + $22 in business class. If you buy the miles for 1.739 cents each, that’s like paying $630 in coach, $804 in premium economy, or $1,239 in business. El Al charges $862 in coach, $1,332 in premium economy, or $2,773 in business for those flights.
Other than buying miles, it’s not easy to obtain Alaska miles other than from the Alaska Card. You can transfer increments of 60K Marriott points into 25K Alaska miles, or you can transfer Bilt points into Alaska miles at a 1:1 ratio.
Sadly, due to El Al’s new partnership with Delta, the Alaska-El Al partnership will end on 7/31, so you’ll want to take advantage of booking awards by that date. You’ll be able to book travel through June 2025 in July when the partnership ends.

It’s showing 30/45/60% bonuses, not 70%
Same here. I only saw up to 70
I meant 60%
Same here, only seeing 60%
I saw an article online that only some accounts are targeted for the 70% bonus..
Do the points come into the account instant?
Yes for me
Is it still a deal at 60%?
Dead
You can now receive 1 Alaska point or 2 bilt points(which can be transferred to Alaska at 1:1 ratio) per dollar spent on Lyft!
