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.

    Redeem Alaska Airlines Miles on Several Interesting Partners, Including Emirates! Starting in May 2016, You’ll Earn 30,000 Alaska Airlines Miles When You Open a Bank of America Alaska Airlines Card

    I’ll explain how this compares with the current offer.  And if you should wait until May to apply!

    What’s the Deal?

    Link:   My Review of the Bank of America Alaska Airlines Card

    Doctor of Credit reports Bank of America will increase the sign-up bonus on the Bank of America Alaska Airlines card to 30,000 Alaska Airlines miles upon approval starting May 2016.

    You can currently earn 25,000 Alaska Airlines miles when you’re approved for the Bank of America Alaska Airlines card AND you’ll earn a $100 statement credit after spending $1,000 on purchases within the 1st 90 days of account opening if you’ve never had the card before.

    You’ll also get:

    The $75 annual fee is NOT waived.  But the $100 statement credit easily covers it.  You’ll also have access to Visa Signature benefits.

    This card has a 3% foreign transaction fee, so it’s not a good card to use abroad.

    Emily and I don’t earn a commission for this offer, but we’ll always share the best deals with our readers!

    Should You Wait for the Higher Offer?

    There’s no word on when (or if) there will be a $100 statement credit with the new offer.

    So it comes down to whether you’d rather have a $100 statement credit now.  Or 5,000 extra Alaska Airlines miles later.

    If you want to earn more Alaska Airlines miles, you might decide to wait.  That’s because Alaska Airlines miles are valuable for award flights domestically and abroad.

    But, you might consider applying with the current offer if you want:

    So consider any upcoming travel you may have.  And choose the offer that’s right for you!

    Again, Emily and I don’t receive a commission on the current card offer, but we’ll always let you know about the best deals!
