Also: Hilton rolls out booking and travel perks for smaller businesses January 19, 2024 [THE POINTS GUY]( [View in browser]( [TPG Daily NEWSLETTER]( [THE POINTS GUY]( Limited-time offer for 70K bonus miles by Katie Genter, Senior Writer [TPG | Hero Image] There's now another increased card bonus out as Alaska Airlines and Bank of America recently launched a new offer on the [Alaska Airlines Visa® credit card](. Even if you don’t fly Alaska Airlines often, don’t tune this out. New applicants for the Alaska Airlines Visa can now earn 70,000 bonus miles plus Alaska's Companion Fare from $122 ($99 fare plus taxes and fees from $23) after spending $3,000 or more on purchases within the first 90 days from account opening. This is a good way to earn a chunk of Alaska miles. And Alaska's Companion Fare can come in handy — especially since you can use it for most Alaska-operated economy tickets, including one-way, round-trip and multicity routings. Last May, my husband and I used the [Alaska Companion Fare]( to fly from Los Angeles to Seattle and then from Seattle to Anchorage, Alaska, via Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Juneau, Yakutat and Cordova for $580 on the Alaska Milk Run. But, of course, you can also use the Companion Fare for much simpler trips — domestic flights can be found for under 5,000 miles on some routes. And although Alaska miles have faced a few devaluations over the last few years, they’re still valuable for some trips. For example, you can [redeem Alaska miles to fly on Fiji Airways]( from San Francisco to Sydney with a stopover for as long as you want in Fiji. Economy award availability is relatively easy to find for 40,000 miles plus about $121 in taxes and fees one-way. And while business class on that route is much more limited, if you can find it, it's yours for just 55,000 Alaska miles plus taxes and fees.
