Update: VFTW shares that the card will also come with companion passes (one for having the card and another when a spend threshold is hit). Can be used on any Alaska airlines redemption (any class of service and with partners) there will be a mileage cap but this can be topped up with miles as well.
Alaska Airlines (along with cobrand partner Bank of America) plan to launch a $395 premium credit card in summer 2025. You can get 500 miles if you join the waitlist by December 31, 2024 and an additional 5,000 miles if you join the waitlist and apply for the card when it launches (this is in addition to the unknown sign up bonus that will be offered at launch).
The card will have the following features:
- $395 annual fee
- 3X miles on all eligible foreign purchases
- 3X miles on all eligible dining purchases
- Waived award ticket fees
- Alaska Lounge passes
- Wi-Fi vouchers
- accelerated paths to elite status
- innovative travel disruption program
Our Verdict
It’s interesting that it says lounge passes rather than lounge access, I assume that means it’ll be limited.
