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.

    5,000 Alaska Airlines Miles Is Enough for a Free One-Way Coach Flight From San Francisco to Seattle!

    Update:   One or more card offers in this post are no longer available.  Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    A couple months ago, I told you that Groupon was giving folks 500 Alaska Airlines miles just for signing-up and making a Groupon Local purchase.

    Now, via Mommy Points, the bonus has doubled!  You’ll earn 1,000 Alaska Airlines miles after you sign-up for Groupon and make a Groupon Local purchase over $30.  And existing customers can earn 4 Alaska Airlines miles per $1 on Groupon Local, Getaways, and Goods.

    1,000 Alaska Airlines Miles Might Not Seem Like Much.  But Flights Under 700 Miles Only Cost 5,000 Alaska Airlines Miles! So a Flight From San Francisco to Seattle Is 5,000 Miles One-Way!

    I’ll tell you what you need to know about this deal.

    Link:   1,000 Alaska Airlines Miles for New Groupon Members

    Groupon is offering new members 1,000 Alaska Airlines miles to sign-up and make a purchase!  Here are the details:

    If you are NOT new to Groupon, you’ll still earn 4 Alaska Airlines miles per $1 on Groupon Local, Groupon Getaways, and Groupon Goods purchases.

    Is This a Good Deal?

    You can NOT stack this promotion with any other deals, like discount codes or airline and cash back portals.  So it’s worth doing the math to make sure you’re getting the most return for your purchase!  I like checking Cashback Monitor or Evreward to always make sure I’m getting the best deal.

    That said, I imagine you will get the best deal with this promotion, especially if you’re making a purchase near the minimum spend amount.  If you plan to spend a lot, it might be a better idea to use another portal, and use this promotion when you’re making a ~$30 purchase.

    Want More Alaska Airlines Miles?

    There are plenty of ways to earn Alaska Airlines miles.  For example, you can open the Bank of America Alaska Airlines personal and small business cards, which come with 30,000 Alaska Airlines miles after making $1,000 in purchases within the first 90 days of opening your account.

    And remember, Alaska Airlines and Virgin America are merging!  So you can transfer Virgin America points to Alaska Airlines at a ratio of 1:1.3.

    Bottom Line

    If you’re new to Groupon, you’ll get 1,000 Alaska Airlines miles after signing-up and making a $30+ purchase with Groupon Local.

    You can NOT combine this promotion with any other promotion codes or deals, including other airline and cash back portals.  So do the math to make sure you won’t get a better return through another coupon or portal!

    Enjoy the easy miles!
