Earn 60,000 Miles On The Alaska Airlines Visa® Credit Card
Table of Contents
Welcome bonus:
Earn 60,000 Alaska miles for opening the Alaska Airlines Visa® Credit Card and spending $3,000 in the first 90 days.
You’ll also get Alaska’s Famous Companion Fare™ from $99 fare plus taxes and fees after meeting the spending requirement.
Alaska miles are some of the most valuable and hard to obtain miles. Currently, there is a limited time window to transfer AMEX points to Alaska via Hawaiian, though that is expected to go away as the merger progresses.
Annual fee:
$95
Companion fare:
With this offer you can bring another passenger with you on a one-way or round-trip paid ticket for just $122 ($99 fare plus taxes and fees from just $23). You can also use your credit card to book companion travel for 2 people besides for the cardholder.
This is valid anywhere that Alaska flies to, including Hawaii!
The companion will also earn their full flown miles for their tickets as Alaska still awards miles based on flight distance.
You’ll also get a $99 Companion Fare (plus taxes and fees from $23) each account anniversary after you spend $6,000 or more on purchases within the prior anniversary year. Valid on all Alaska Airlines flights booked on alaskaair.com.

Cardholders get 20% back on inflight food, beverage, and Wi-Fi purchases when you pay with your card.
