The best ever Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan buy miles bonus is back and that bonus is up to 70% more miles! This offer is available until June 26, 2025.
With a 70% bonus you’ll be buying Mileage Plan miles for as little as 1.62 US cents plus the tax recovery fee and GST/HST.
Here’s an example of the complete price if you are located in Alberta (5% GST only)
The all in price comes out to 1.83 cents (US$) per mile. That’s a pretty good purchase price as it can be relatively easy to redeem at over 2 cents per mile (US$) for premium class award flights as long as you can find those golden nuggets for redemptions!

Does it make sense to buy Mileage Plan miles?
Yes in some cases it does! Those cases tend to be for premium cabin redemptions (business or first class) on Alaska’s partner airlines like JAL, Cathay, Korean and Condor. Although as of late, those best business class redemptions have been really slim pickings via Mileage Plan and have been harder to find. So I would find your award flights first and then buy the miles – not vice versa.
Another potential future option will be using the miles for Porter Airlines. We were supposed to Porter Airlines become a full redemption partner for Mileage Plan in 2024 which has been delayed to sometime this year so hopefully we’ll see it here soon. Once they do we’ll start comparing cash costs vs. mileage amounts and buying miles to see if this will become a viable option!
