Alaska Airlines has launched another buy miles bonus! Though not as
good as the 50% we saw earlier in the year some of you may be able to
make great use of buying the miles with a 40% bonus! With the 40% offer
you are buying Mileage Plan Miles at roughly US 2.11 cents each (plus GST/HST):
What is new this time around with the buy miles offer is Alaska now
setting in place a maximum amount of miles you can buy in a year if you
don’t hold MVP status. Non-Elite members can only buy 150,000 miles per
year now. MVP, MVP Gold, and MVP Gold 75K member are not subjected to
this limitation. Seeing that Alaska does have 50% bonuses at times I
wouldn’t buy at 40% unless you have a need for these miles to be
redeemed over the next 60-90 days at which time we may see their next
bonus offer.
If you do buy right now remember you can redeem miles for premium class flights on British
Airways, Cathay Pacific, Hainan, Korean Air and more, there are lots of
options for you to use these miles. It only takes 70,000
Mileage Plan miles to fly Cathay Pacific First Class one way from North America
to Asia and those 70K will cost you US$1478.13 as seen above – and to pay for that first class will cost you a lot more than that!
