Alaska Airlines is having an investor day today, where the CEO tries to talk up the stock and makes several announcements that will affect us who are using their frequent flier program.
There is an interesting tidbit about a new credit card product they are launching next summer, but the best part is that everyone expressing their “interest” can get 500 miles.
You can access this offer on the Alaska Airlines website here.
Pre-register now and receive up to 5,500 miles.
Move to the front of the line: Join our early-access list to get an exclusive link to apply for our new premium credit card, plus earn 500 miles when you pre-register by Dec. 31, 2024. Then, after you use your exclusive link and your application is approved, you’ll also receive another 5,000 bonus miles in addition to other new-account bonus offers1.
Our new premium credit card will be sleek and mighty, built for the global traveler who maximizes every accrual and redemption opportunity. Packed with exclusive travel benefits, unique features, and endless ways to explore the world, this card will elevate every journey and daily adventure.
Let’s see when the 500 free miles post.
Conclusion
Earning 3 miles per USD for F&B is quite good, but you already get that with financial products that allow you to convert points to several programs (flexibility is the key).
You should express your “interest” and get those 500 miles, and maybe this product is worth checking out when it is released.

2 – Earn 3 Miles (consisting of 2 bonus Miles and 1 base Mile) for every $1 spent on eligible foreign net purchases. $1 = 3 Miles. Eligible foreign net purchases include purchases (1) made in a foreign currency, or (2) made in U.S. dollars if the transaction is made or processed outside of the United States and US Territories. Bank of America is not responsible for how foreign purchases are billed to the credit card.
3 – Earn 3 Miles (consisting of 2 bonus Miles and 1 base Mile) for every $1 spent on eligible dining net purchases. $1 = 3 Miles. Eligible dining net purchases include Caterers, Eating Places, Restaurants, Bars, Cocktail Lounges, Discotheques, Nightclubs, Taverns/Drinking Places (Alcoholic Beverages), and Fast Food Restaurants. Merchants who accept Visa are assigned an MCC based on the type of products or services they primarily sell. Merchants, not Bank of America, categorize and submit purchases, so some purchases may not fall into the category where you might expect them to appear. When this occurs, purchases with that merchant won’t qualify for bonus Miles. Purchases made at a merchant that does not process under an eligible MCC or processes through a third-party payment account, digital wallet not supported by Bank of America or similar technology where the technology does not support transmission of MCCs will not qualify for bonus Miles.
