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: Up to a 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.

    Via TravelUpdate, targeted folks can earn up to a 40% bonus on purchased Alaska Airlines miles through December 28, 2017.  So check your Alaska Airlines account to see which bonus you’ve been targeted for!

    This is a tiered bonus, so the more you buy, the better the bonus.  If you were targeted for the full 40% bonus, you can buy Alaska Airlines miles for as little as ~2.1 cents each!

    Through December 28, 2017, you can get up to a 40% bonus when you buy Alaska Airlines miles.  To see which offer you’ve been targeted for, sign-in to your Alaska Airlines account.

    For example, some folks have been targeted to earn:

    You can buy up to 60,000 Alaska Airlines miles per transaction (NOT including the bonus).  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!

    Is It a Good Deal?

    While this is a nice bonus, it’s still not a fabulous value.  We’ve seen bigger bonuses in the past.  And because this bonus is tiered, it probably will NOT help folks who need just a few thousand more miles to top off their account.

    But if you’re interested in flying Business Class at a discount, it could be worth it!

    For example, if you were targeted to earn a 40% bonus and bought 50,000 Alaska Airlines miles, you’d pay ~$1,478 (including taxes and fees) for a total of 70,000 Alaska Airlines miles.  Or ~2.1 cents per mile ($1,478 / 70,000 miles).

    I Flew Cathay Pacific First Class and LOVED It

    70,000 Alaska Airlines miles is enough for a one-way First Class ticket from the US to Asia on Cathay Pacific.  And a First Class ticket to Asia can easily cost $3,000+ one-way.  So spending $1,478 on Alaska Airlines miles for the same ticket is a great deal!

    Remember, you can use Alaska Airlines miles for flights on their partner airlines, like British Airways, Delta, and Cathay Pacific.  And make sure to read this post about how to use fewer miles for short flights with Alaska Airlines’ new award chart!

    Bottom Line

    Alaska Airlines is targeting folks to earn up to a 40% bonus when buying Alaska Airlines miles through December 28, 2017.

    While this is a nice bonus, I still recommend folks only buy miles if they have a certain award flight in mind.  Or if you want to fly in comfortable Business or First Class seats at a big discount.

    Will you take advantage of this targeted Alaska Airlines promotion?  Let me know in the comments!
