Southwest, United, Alaska and American Airlines are all facing potential strikes, but the good news is that all are still negotiating and seem to be bargaining in good faith.
New Alaska Airlines Visa personal card offer: Earn 60,000 miles and a companion fare
27.09.2023 - 21:31 / thepointsguy.com
If you're looking to boost your Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan balance, here is a good opportunity to do so.
Right now, applicants for the Alaska Airlines Visa® credit card can earn 60,000 bonus miles plus Alaska's Famous Companion Fare™ from $122 ($99 fare plus taxes and fees from $23) after spending $3,000 or more on purchases within the first 90 days from account opening.
There is also a (lower) offer on the Alaska Airlines Visa® Business card of 50,000 bonus miles plus Alaska's Famous Companion Fare™ from $122 ($99 fare plus taxes and fees from $23). To qualify, make $3,000 or more in purchases within the first 90 days from account opening.
Whether you're looking for business-class flights to Australia and Asia or looking to use Alaska Airlines' friendly stopover policy, there are many reasons why you want Alaska miles. The program is also luring Delta loyalists with a status match following major negative changes to Delta's SkyMiles program.
Let's take a look at the details of this new offer from the Alaska Airlines Visa card.
New applicants for the Alaska Airlines Visa credit card can earn 60,000 bonus miles after making $3,000 in purchases within the first 90 days of account opening.
Based on TPG's valuations, the 60,000 miles are worth $840. Plus, by meeting the same minimum spending requirement, new applicants can also earn Alaska's Famous Companion Fare™ — from $122 ($99 fare plus taxes and fees from $23).
The card has a $95 annual fee.

To be clear, we have seen higher offers for this card, earning up to 100,000 miles after spending $15,000. However, if you're looking for an elevated welcome offer with more miles than the standard offer (which tends to be 40,000-50,000 miles after spending $2,000-$3,000) without heavy spending requirements, you should consider this offer.
It's also worth pointing out that Alaska Airlines does offer targeted bonuses on this card on the final page when booking a flight online. Be sure to try that avenue to see if you receive an even better offer.

The card itself comes with a nice lineup of perks and benefits.
You'll earn 3 miles per dollar on eligible Alaska Airlines purchases, 2 miles per dollar on gas, local transit (including ride-hailing apps), EV charging stations, cable and select streaming services, and 1 mile per dollar on other purchases.
You'll also receive priority boarding on Alaska Airlines flights for you and up to six guests on the same reservation when you pay for your flight with your card.
Your first checked bag is free for you and up to six guests on your same reservation, but again, you need to pay for your flights
