First, you'll need to meet the spending requirement of $4,000 in eligible purchases within the first 120 days of opening your account.<\/p>\n<p>The offer terms state that the bonus points and companion fare may take up to two billing cycles to post to your Alaska account after you qualify. In our experience, welcome bonuses usually post much sooner than those conservative timelines, but don't apply for this card with the idea that you can book your companion ticket right away.<\/p>\n<p>The second thing to know is that the companion fare can only be used on a\u00a0<strong>paid, economy-class itinerary operated by Alaska Airlines.<\/strong> The companion fare code must be redeemed within 12 months of the date issued, and you must book yourself and your companion on the same reservation via alaskaair.com. While you can't redeem your points and use your companion fare at the same time, there are plenty of great ways to spend those points.<\/p>\n<p>Based on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/point-mile-values\/Alaska\" rel=\"noopener\">recent AwardWallet user redemptions<\/a>, the value of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/airlines\/alaska-atmos-rewards\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards points<\/a> is approximately 2.21\u00a2 apiece. At that rate, this bonus is worth over $1,000 \u2014 even before considering the value of the Companion Fare. But you can get even more value than that out of this bonus \u2014 and we'll show you how.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_137183\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-137183 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Alaska_Airlines_737_Featured.png\" alt=\"Alaska Airlines 737 landing at dusk.\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Alaska_Airlines_737_Featured.png 1001w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Alaska_Airlines_737_Featured-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Alaska_Airlines_737_Featured-768x615.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Alaska_Airlines_737_Featured-325x260.png 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Jeffry Surianto\/Unsplash<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/alaska-atmos-rewards\/alaska-visa-credit-card-first-year-value\/\" rel=\"noopener\">How I Got $2,509 From My Alaska Credit Card in the First Year<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Atmos_Ascent_Visa_Card_Highlights\">Atmos Ascent Visa Card Highlights<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here's a snapshot of the benefits you can enjoy courtesy of your <a data-ccid=\"4048132\" href=\"\/blog\/link\/CR-AlaskaAirlinesVisaSignatureCreditCard\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Atmos Ascent Visa Card<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Alaska's Famous Companion Fare\u2122 from $122<\/strong> ($99 base fare plus taxes and fees from $23) every year on your account anniversary for Alaska flights booking on alaskaair.com with no blackout dates.
