Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site.

Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    In the market for Alaska Airlines miles?  I have good news!

    Alaska Airlines is awarding bonus miles when you buy miles through April 6, 2017.  The more miles you buy, the higher the bonus!

    Flights Under 700 Miles Only Cost 5,000 Alaska Airlines Miles in Coach. So You Can Fly From San Francisco to Seattle for Just 5,000 Miles One-Way!

    Here’s more about this deal!

    Earn a Bonus When You Buy Alaska Airlines Miles

    Link:   Buy Alaska Airlines Miles

    Through April 6, 2017, you can get up to a 40% bonus when you buy Alaska Airlines miles.  A possible 24,000 bonus miles!

    You will only get a bonus if you purchase at least 10,000 miles.  You’ll get:

    You Can Buy Miles for as Low as ~2.1 Cents Each

    You can buy up to 60,000 Alaska Airlines miles per transaction.  And there’s no limit to the total number of miles you can buy.  So do the math to see what makes sense for you!

    You’ll get the best value if you buy at least 40,000 Alaska Airlines miles with a 16,000 mile bonus.  You would receive 56,000 miles, and pay $1,182 (after taxes), or ~2.1 cents per point ($1,182 in cash / 56,000 Alaska Airlines miles).

    That’s not exactly a “steal”, so this deal is likely only worth it for folks who need to top off their account for a particular award ticket.  Or for folks who want to fly First Class at a discount.

    For example, you could fly First Class on Cathay Pacific from the US to Southeast Asia for 70,000 Alaska Airlines miles one-way.

    With a 40% bonus, you could buy 50,000 Alaska Airlines miles for ~$1,478 and get a 20,000 mile bonus, for a total of 70,000 Alaska Airlines miles.

    You Can Buy Enough Alaska Airlines Miles to Fly First Class for a Fraction of the Cash Price of the Same Ticket

    Paying ~$1,478 for a one-way First Class ticket to Asia is a great deal!  Because if you were to buy a First Class ticket, you could easily spend $6,000+.

    Remember, you can also use Alaska Airlines miles for flights on other partner airlines, like Delta and Emirates.  And read my post about how to use fewer miles for short flights with Alaska Airlines’ new award chart.

    Bottom Line

    When you buy Alaska Airlines miles through April 6, 2017, you’ll get a bonus on the miles you purchase.  But you’ll have to buy at least 10,000 miles to get a bonus.  You’ll get:

    This deal probably isn’t worth it for most folks, unless you have a specific award ticket in mind.  Or unless you want to fly Business or First Class at a discount.  As always, do the math to see what makes sense for you!
