Deal: Purchase Alaska Airlines Miles with a Bonus of Up to 50%

Through March 17, 2025, you'll receive a bonus of up to 50% on your purchase of Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Miles. This could be a decent opportunity to up your Mileage Plan balance for a savvy redemption.

It's worth mentioning that Alaska Airlines is seemingly always selling miles. The airline offers many promotions to purchase miles throughout the year, so if you aren't a buyer here you'll likely have many more opportunities to do so in the coming months. Over the last few years, the best offer we've seen to purchase Mileage Plan miles has been with a 70% bonus (in March of 2024), so this current offer is a good deal off the mark.

Keep in mind that with the recent merger of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, there are a few more ways to stack Alaska Miles. In addition to the traditional methods (flying on Alaska Airlines or a partner airline and crediting to Alaska, spending on Alaska credit card, shopping portals, etc.) you can transfer Hawaiian Miles to Alaska Miles on a 1:1 basis. Additionally, Hawaiian Airlines is a transfer partner of American Express so as a result, you can indirectly transfer miles from Amex to Alaska via Hawaiian.

What are Some Good Uses of Alaska Miles?

Across the combined, Alaska/Hawaiian ecosystem you have a ton of good options. The 'new hotness', at least for the last few years has been redeeming miles for Starlux's business class service. The Taiwanese carrier offers transpacific service from Taipei to various West Coast cities.

Of course as a member of Oneworld, Alaska has access to award seating on partner airlines.

Perhaps a trip to Sydney with a stopover in Fiji?

Similar to Starlux, Alaska has a handful of rogue partnerships that span alliances.

Singapore Airlines and Korean Air are two carriers that offer prized premium cabin seating.
