Alaska Airlines launched two new promotions yesterday that are worth mentioning here on the Rewards Canada blog. The first promotion is the latest Mileage Plan buy miles bonus which can be worthwhile for all Canadian travellers while the second offer which is Alaska’s Fall Award ticket sale is primarily good for those in the YVR area.
The buy miles bonus is the highest we have seen in about 5 months from Alaska Airlines and is a tiered offering. The more miles you buy the higher the bonus is:
5,000 – 19,000 miles, get a 20% Bonus
20,000 – 34,000 miles, get a 30% Bonus
35,000 – 40,000 miles, get a 40% Bonus
This offer is around until October 14th so you don’t have to jump on it right away and even though Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles are some of those most valuable out there I wouldn’t buy the miles unless you have an award flight in mind or need to top offer you account. This buy miles bonus may even help you with the next offer listed below for those discounted award flights out of Vancouver.
The Fall Award Flight sale sees a bunch of Alaska Airlines’ routes discounted but for their Canadian cities only Vancouver is included with discounts on flights to San Jose, San Francisco, Salt Lake City and Oakland. These are some pretty good deals especially for the flights to the San Francisco bay area with round trip flights as low as 15,000 miles! If you have no Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles you can easily earn 25,000 of them right away with the Alaska Airlines MasterCard® credit card for Canadians and have 10,000 miles left over after redeeming for one of these discounted awards! The Fall Award sale is good for flights until Oct 31st.
The combination of these two new Mileage Plan offers can prove quite lucrative for those of you in the Vancouver area!
