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.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). 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.

    Up to 40,000 Miles And A $99 Companion Ticket

    Update:   This offer is no longer available.  Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers. 

    There’ve been a lot of new credit card offers this week, including the 100,000 Citi Executive card and the $250 American Express SimplyCash card after completing the minimum spending.  But here’s another one, via The Points Guy.

    You can get 40,000 Alaska Air miles with the Alaska Airlines credit card after spending $10,000 in 6 months!

    Update:  It looks like the last 15,000 miles is only if you’re an Alaska Air elite member!

    You get:

    40,000 Miles Alaska Visa

    Link:  40,000 miles Alaska Air Card 

    This is a great offer for 40,000 miles!  Alaska Air recently had an offer for 50,000 miles, but that lasted only ~2 weeks!

    But note that Bank of America may approve you for a different version of the Alaska Air card and give you less than 40,000 miles.

    You’ll get

    Also note that you don’t get the extra 15,000 miles if you’re approved for a Platinum Plus or Preferred card.

    I really don’t like it when banks reserve the right to give you fewer miles, but don’t tell you upfront which offer you qualify for!

    There is a $75 annual fee which is not waived with this offer.  And there is a 3% foreign transaction fee so you shouldn’t use it outside the US.

    Terms & Conditions

    This 40,000 miles offer may be targeted because the landing page suggests that it is only for Alaska Air elite members.

    MissMiles points out that the terms SPECIFICALLY mention that the last 15,000 miles are only for Alaska Air elite members.

    So even if you apply and are approved, it is possible that you may not get the bonus miles if you were not targeted.

    But I don’t know how long this offer will last.

    The offer also states that it’s for new customers only.  In practice, many folks get the bonus again on Bank of America cards.

    Bottom Line

    This is a pretty good offer for 40,000 Alaska Air miles.

    I like that you get 25,000 miles immediately, but have 6 months to complete the $10,000 minimum spending requirements for the remaining 15,000 miles.

    But be careful, because the terms suggest that you get the last 15,000 miles only if you’re an Alaska Air elite member.
