The final chapter in the MBNA Alaska Airlines Mastercard story is here as grandfathered cardholders who were selected for automatic conversion to MBNA Rewards Mastercards are being offering some bonus points. All Alaska cards that are being converted will officially become MBNA Rewards Mastercards on September 1 and as of that date purchases will count towards these bonus offers.
MBNA Alaska Airlines World Elite Mastercard: 20,000 bonus points
MBNA Alaska Airlines World Elite Mastercard cardholders who are being converted to MBNA Rewards World Elite Mastercards are being offered 20,000 bonus MBNA Rewards points for spending $2,000 on their cards between September 1 and November 30, 2023.
Those 20,000 points are worth $200 in travel rewards, over $200 in value for select electronic gift cards or $166.67 in cash back.
Of course, if you do have the Alaska Airlines card right now you are probably most interested in Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles and you don’t have to worry as sometime in the future you’ll be able to convert those 20,000 points to 20,000 miles.

MBNA Alaska Airlines Platinum Mastercard cardholders who are being converted to MBNA Rewards Platinum Plus Mastercards are being offered 5,000 bonus MBNA Rewards points for spending $500 on their cards between September 1 and November 30, 2023.

Just like the World Elite cards, the points earned on the Platinum Plus card will have the option to be converted to Mileage Plan miles in the future at a 1 to 1 ratio.
