Alaska Air Mileage Plan is running a mystery bonus promotion that could get you miles for 1.97 cents a piece.
It used to be that Alaska would do a quarterly bonus on purchased miles. Now, they seem to have a promotion running every 6-8 weeks – goes to show you how much money they must be making off point sales. This new promotion is tiered depending on what you’re targeted for: 35%, 40%, or 50%. This is a good thing for those of us who are looking to snag a sweet deal on one of THE BEST airline currencies out there, and it’s especially sweet if you were targeted for the 50%.
