Alaska Air Group's latest investor day was pretty revealing, especially in light of its recent merger with Hawaiian Airlines. In addition to new routes, big plans to increase the premium seat mix fleet-wide, and more, Alaska Airlines is rolling out a brand-new premium credit card that'll debut in the summer of 2025. Here's what we know about the new Mileage Plan credit card.
A Brand-New Alaska Airlines Premium Credit Card Is Launching Summer 2025
Sometime around the middle of 2025, the Alaska Airlines credit card portfolio will grow from two cards to three. A brand-new premium offering will join the airline's mid-tier consumer and business products. This new card will come with a $395 annual fee and plenty of perks, including:
- An “innovative” Global Companion Award Certificate and waived award ticket fees.
- 3X miles on all eligible foreign and dining purchases.
- A faster path to Mileage Plan elite status.
- Alaska Lounge passes and in-flight Wi-Fi vouchers.
- A “travel disruption program.”
Some of these benefits sound enticing, while others are vague. But for now, this is all we know about this new card. As we get closer to the card's launch date, Alaska Mileage Plan will likely share more — and will do so directly if you pre-register your interest.

With that, Alaska Airlines has shared a landing page where you can pre-register your interest in its incoming premium credit card. When the card officially launches, Alaska will send you an email with a one-click-away link to the application page.
Final Thoughts
It's always exciting to write about new credit cards — even ones not yet open for applications. A new Alaska Airlines credit card means another opportunity to earn valuable Mileage Plan miles — a valuable proposition in itself — before factoring in the additional perks that will come with the card.
The announcement of this new card leaves us with a lot of questions. For starters, the proposed annual fee is far lower than that of other premium airline credit cards — by a wide margin. Could this mean the perks won't be as premium as Alaska Airlines is advertising them to be? Or will the annual fee be nothing short of a bargain? Time will tell.
