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.

  • 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.

    The Alaska Airlines – Virgin America merger is moving forward!

    Via One Mile at a Time, the merger deal between the 2 airlines will close today.  But the companies still have a long way to go before they are fully integrated.  Fortunately, Alaska Airlines will begin offering benefits long before it is completed!

    Because Alaska Airlines Is Absorbing Virgin America, You’ll Soon Have New Ways to Redeem Your Alaska Airlines Miles – Like a Non-Stop Flight Between Los Angeles and Cancun!

    I’ll tell you what we know so far!

    Enjoy Benefits From Both Airlines

    According to the Alaska Airlines Newsroom, here’s what we can look forward to in the near future:

    We’re still waiting to hear about:

    Remember, because Virgin America is being absorbed, the Virgin America Visa Signature and Virgin America Premium Signature credit cards issued by Comenity Bank will be discontinued!  So if you’ve been thinking about signing-up, now is the time.

    Bottom Line

    The Alaska Airlines – Virgin America merger is closing today!  You’ll soon be able to earn Alaska Airlines miles on both airlines, and even book Virgin America flights through Alaska Airlines.  And you can match your Virgin America elite status to Alaska Airlines!

    We have no updates about how or when we can book award flights with the other airline’s rewards currency.  Still, I like how Alaska Airlines is giving folks mutual benefits soon after the merger closes, instead of waiting until the integration is complete!

    If you’re interested in the Virgin America Visa Signature and Virgin America Premium Signature cards, sign-up soon!  They’ll likely be discontinued in the near future!
