Excellent Deal! Up to a 50% bonus on Purchased Alaska Miles
Alaska miles are arguably the best miles you can earn, and they consistently put up OUTSTANDING opportunities like this to buy them. I just received an email giving you the opportunity receive up to a 50% bonus on purchased Alaska Miles. This is a targeted, tiered offer, meaning you need to check to see what bonus you are eligible to receive by clicking here. If you’re targeted for the same 50% bonus as I am, you’ll be able to buy Alaska Miles for under $0.02 each. To put that in perspective you could be buying 1 way tickets in Cathay Pacific Business Class the States to Asia for under $1000 each way. That is an excellent deal! I never recommend speculatively buying miles or points, but if you have a specific trip in mind and you’re looking for OUTSTANDING ways to fly there – this could be a great opportunity for you.
Here is the email I received.

Which routes do Cathay Fly in First to Africa?
Debit – You’d fly first class on the leg from the States to Hong Kong and then Business Class from HKG to JNB. Essentially you’re getting the leg to JNB free as it’s the same cost whether you’re going to Asia or Africa in First. But you would have access to First Class lounges in HKG as well.
