Bank of America Alaska Airlines Visa Signature Credit Card Review
The Alaska Airlines Visa Signature® credit card is an airline credit card designed for frequent flyers of Alaska Airlines.

Cardholders can receive a $99 companion fare (plus taxes and fees from $23) plus 60,000 bonus miles after spending $3,000 or more within the first 90 days of opening your account. And each account anniversary year, you can earn another $99 companion fare when you spend $6,000 or more in the previous year.

The Alaska Airlines Visa Signature® credit card has no foreign transaction fees, making it a good choice to use abroad. Cardholders can also earn 10% bonus rewards on all miles earned from card purchases with an eligible Bank of America account.
Editor’s Take
The Alaska Airlines Visa Signature® credit card is a good option for those who frequently fly with Alaska Airlines or its partner airlines. The card’s travel perks of a free checked bag for you and up to six guests, priority boarding and $100 off an annual Alaska Lounge+ Membership when you pay with your card are all valuable to frequent Alaska Airlines flyers. To maximize earnings, cardholders should pair the card with an eligible Bank of America account to earn a 10% rewards bonus on all miles earned.
For those who don’t exclusively fly with Alaska Airlines and its partner airlines, consider a more well-rounded travel credit card like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card. With $95 annual fee, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card offers a comparable sign-up bonus with more flexible ways to redeem your points for travel.
