10k Bonus Alaska Air miles offer extended to 2/28/17

Alaska Air knows how to treat their members right! ICYMI, last year Alaska and Virgin America merged. They are very different companies and management understands that each of them have very loyal members. Alaska is doing its best to welcome Virgin America Elevate members and as a sweet little treat, they’ve given every member 10k bonus miles. If you haven’t received your 10k bonus Alaska Air miles you’ve been given more time as they’ve extended the offer until 2/28/17.

The terms and conditions say that it’s only available to Elevate members who weren’t Mileage Plan members, BUT I had accounts with both and still received the miles…

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.

Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.

Main Cast: 

Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.

Supporting Cast:

Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on. 

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.

If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex®  and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners

Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.

    Quoting verbatim from an Alaska rep: “In order to be eligible for the promotion, the account with Virgin America would have to be in active status with activity between the dates 06/05/2015 and 12/05/2016.” If you had an Elevate account but no activity in it in the last year and a half, you will NOT get the bonus.

      Thanks for the data Rick – appreciate it

  • Cathy February 3, 2017

    I have both accounts, but haven’t received the bonus. I tried to input the info on the linked page, but cannot, because I do have both accounts. Thoughts on getting those miles???

    • Miles February 4, 2017

      Hey Cathy – it looks like from what people are commenting here, and then what I’ve read elsewhere that the extension may only impact those who had accounts and those with activity. I’d give Alaska a call and ask about your situation. Just for information I did have an account, but it wasn’t linked, and I received the 10k without requesting them.

  • Kenny February 3, 2017

    I have accounts in both program and got nothing.

    • Miles February 3, 2017

      hey Kenny – what were the dates that you requested the points?
