We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. 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. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

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.

Targeted: Limited-Time 40% Bonus When Buying Alaska Airlines Miles

  • Million Mile Secrets

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

    Good news!  Via One Mile at a Time, you can get up to a 40% bonus when you purchase Alaska Airlines miles through February 8, 2017.

    This deal is targeted, and some folks have reported not being offered any bonus at all.  But it’s worth checking your Alaska Airlines account if you want to buy more miles for a particular trip!

    Through February 8, 2017, you can get up to a 40% bonus when you buy Alaska Airlines miles.  To see what offer you’ve been targeted for, log-in to your Alaska Airlines account here.

    For example, some folks have been targeted to get:

    Were You Targeted to Earn a Bonus For Buying Alaska Airlines Miles?

    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 your particular situation!

    If you were targeted to earn a 40% bonus and bought the maximum 60,000 Alaska Airlines miles, you’d pay ~$1,774 (including taxes and fees) for a total of 84,000 Alaska Airlines miles.  Or ~2.1 cents per mile ($1,774 / 84,000 miles).

    That’s not a terribly good value, so this deal is likely only worth it for folks who need to top off their account for a particular award ticket.

    For example, you could fly First Class on Cathay Pacific from the US to Thailand 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 (50,000 miles + 20,000 miles).

    Paying ~$1,478 for a one-way First Class ticket to Thailand on Cathay Pacific might be an excellent deal for some folks!  Because the same ticket might easily cost ~$4,500 if you paid cash.

    Remember, you can use Alaska Airlines miles for flights on partner airlines, like Delta, Cathay Pacific, and Emirates.  And don’t forget to check out this post about how to use fewer miles for short flights with Alaska Airlines’ new award chart.

    Bottom Line

    Log-in to your Alaska Airlines account here to see if you’ve been targeted to get up to a 40% bonus when you buy Alaska Airlines miles through February 8, 2017. This deal probably isn’t worth it for most folks, unless you have a specific award ticket in mind.  But as always, I suggest doing the math to see what makes sense for you!
