For Alaska Airlines customers who redeem points with a companion once a year, the annual companion award covers the cost of the annual fee completely. And this card is an Alaska Airlines tool – fee waivers, travel delay credits, points flexibility (family pooling, hotel transfers) and credit towards elite status.
Alaska Airlines announced this week that the move to a single loyalty program with Hawaiian Airlines will come this summer, and that they’ll also launch a premium credit card at that time.
Brett Catlin, Alaska’s Vice President of Loyalty, Alliances and Sales, shared some additional details about the card’s companion award certificate with me.
At some banks the controls may have been insufficient, and too many fake accounts were opened for real customers, to earn bonuses or other incentives for employees. But, as with all things, the optimal amount of fraud is not zero.
In addition to a biggest-ever bonus there are changes to the card’s earning, and benefits – including to the $99+tax annual companion pass.
The Bank of America-issued U.S. credit card for Air France KLM Flying Blue has an offer that’s better than any I’ve seen before. And it’s interesting for more than just the bonus miles. It opens up elite status and potentially first class awards, too.
Bank of America is releasing a new Visa Infinite rewards card and details have leaked. The card will be available to the public November 22.
Bank of American is offering 67,000 miles for a new Alaska Airlines Visa Signature: 42,000 after $2000 spend within 3 months, and 25,000 more miles after $8000 total spend within 6 months.
This is the biggest offer I’ve ever seen for an Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan card. And it also comes with a companion ticket.
Bank of America adopted two new rules for card approval over the last two years. Now they have another one that is either stricter – or less strict – than Chase’s 5/24, depending on whether you have a banking relationship with them.
Bank of America has several lesser-known but still excellent rewards credit cards. They will approve at most 2 cards every 2 months, 3 cards every 12 months, and 4 cards every 24 months. That limit applies to Bank of America cards only, rather than being like Chase which looks at the cards you’ve opened from all sources.
