Without a doubt, Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan is one of the best airline award programs out there. Mileage Plan still awards miles based on distance flown, not a revenue-based one, and has reasonable redemption rates and great partners. Through July 31, 2017, Mileage Plan is offering a 5,000-mile bonus for signing up for a new account and taking a flight with Alaska by September 30, 2017. Bear in mind that Alaska awards start at 5,000 miles which make this bonus great value.
What You Need To Do
To earn the bonus miles, all you need to do is join Mileage Plan and take a flight by September 30, 2017. Remember, you can take flights on either Alaska or Virgin America. However, ensure that the flight is operated by either airline, as codeshares with other airlines are not valid not work. Even if you already have a ticket booked during the promotion window, make sure to join MileagePlan before the date of your flight, and you can still earn the bonus miles, just remember to add your Alaska Number to your ticket.
Alaska Miles
5,000 miles can be a great start and go a long way, especially since Alaska miles do not expire as long as you keep your account active. In addition, if you have some other flights planned with Alaska partner airlines, you can earn double Alaska miles on those flights.
Overall
Alaska does have a habit of being quite generous with its members, and this is no exception. The company has made a concerted effort over the last few years to keep its customers happy, so why not join since more generosity by Alaska is probably just around the corner.
