Hey AwardTrail blazers! Alaska Airlines and Lyft are teaming up to give your wallet a little love. If you connect your Alaska Airlines' Atmos Rewards account to Lyft before January 14, 2026, you'll snag a cool $15 Lyft credit. That's basically a free ride (or a big chunk of one!).

But the perks don't stop there. Once linked, you'll also earn double Alaska miles on every Lyft ride, racking up to 6X points depending on your Alaska Airlines elite status. Think of it as getting rewarded twice for something you were already doing.

Why does this matter? Well, that $15 credit is free money, plain and simple. And those extra miles can add up fast, bringing you closer to your next award flight. So, if you're an Alaska Airlines flyer and a Lyft user, linking your accounts is a no-brainer. Get on it before January 14, 2026, to snag that free credit!

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.
