Alaska Airlines is enhancing its frequent flier program, offering new incentives to attract members to its Mileage Plan. Traditionally free to join, the program now presents an added benefit for newcomers.
Loyalty Rewarded
“There’s a reason our loyal flyers are MVPs,” the airline stated on its website, emphasizing the advantages of their program. “Our members earn more miles on average than other airlines. Earn miles every time you fly.”
Exclusive Discount Offer
New members who enroll in the Mileage Plan by December 31, 2024, through a designated promotional link will receive a discount code for $25 off their next Alaska Airlines flight. This offer is available to U.S. residents, with the exception of those residing in Alaska, California, and Hawaii.
Quick Access to Discounts
Once registered, the discount code will be credited to the new member’s account within 72 hours and must be utilized within 28 days of enrollment. Only one discount code is permitted per individual, and creating multiple Mileage Plan accounts could lead to deactivation and possible suspension from the program.
No Minimum Purchase Required
There is no minimum purchase requirement for the discount, although travelers must cover all applicable taxes and fees related to their tickets. To redeem the offer, flights must be booked directly through Alaska’s website for travel operated by Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air, or SkyWest within 90 days of joining. Should the ticket be canceled, the discount code will be lost.
Highly Regarded Program
Alaska Airlines’ Mileage Plan is highly regarded as one of the best in the United States. The program also features quarterly promotions, such as the Global Getaways, which offers members up to 50 percent off award tickets, providing added value for their miles.
Strategic Merger Enhancements
This latest promotion follows the recent approval of Alaska Airlines’ merger with Hawaiian Airlines by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Transportation (DOT). Alaska has committed to preserving the unique identities and separate frequent flier programs of both airlines. However, travelers will soon have the option to transfer miles between Alaska’s Mileage Plan and Hawaiian’s HawaiianMiles, as well as benefit from a status match between the two carriers—making it an opportune moment to join the program.
Conclusion
With attractive incentives and strategic partnerships on the horizon, now is a compelling time for travelers to consider enrolling in Alaska Airlines’ Mileage Plan. The combination of immediate discounts and future benefits from the merger with Hawaiian Airlines enhances the value of membership, encouraging more travelers to become loyal Alaska fliers.
