Alaska Airlines 70,000 Mile Offer

There is a new Alaska Airlines 70,000 mile offer that recently launched. This is right near the best ever offer on this card, it just misses the all time high because there is no $100 statement credit this time around. While Alaska Airlines has had some notable devaluations over the last few years they are still a coveted airline mile to have. Part of that is because they don't play nice with many transfer partners. The other part of the equation is the airlines they partner up with and those booking possibilities. Since this is a personal card offer it is best skipped over by people under Chase 5/24, even if it is an increased offer.

Update 9/16/23: Looks like this offer has already been pulled. The current best offer is 62,000 miles and a companion certificate.

Alaska Airlines 70,000 Mile Offer: ToP Thoughts

This is a pretty compelling offer that is worth around $1,000+ in value if you know how to use Alaska Airlines miles. They are a bit more niche than some others, so don't get tempted by the increased offer if you don't have a plan for them. It is also best to skip over this one if you are under Chase 5/24. You can always hope for an increased Alaska Airlines business card offer since that won't count against your 5/24 status.
