Heads up, awardtrail readers! Bank of America is offering a sweet deal on the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature card: a whopping 85,000 Alaska miles and Alaska's famous Companion Fare (starting from $122) after you spend $4,000 in the first 120 days. That's enough miles for several domestic flights, or a significant chunk of a fancy international trip. The card has a $95 annual fee (not waived), but the perks can easily outweigh that.

This offer is particularly enticing because the standard bonus is usually around 70-80,000 miles, so you're getting a boost. You'll also earn 3x miles on Alaska Airlines purchases, 2x on gas, streaming, cable, and local transit (including ride share!), and 1x on everything else. Plus, you and up to six companions get a free checked bag on Alaska flights, and you get priority boarding! Just remember, if you've had this card within the past 24 months, you're out of luck.

Why should you care? Alaska miles are valuable for flights not only on Alaska Airlines but also on their partners like American Airlines, British Airways, and more. This bonus could unlock some incredible travel opportunities, especially if you snag that companion fare each year by hitting the spending requirement of $6,000. If you've been eyeing an Alaska Airlines card, now's the time to jump on it!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
