A reader just let me know about an increase in the sign up bonus for the Alaska Airlines Visa card.
The bonus in now 30,000 miles; we picked up this card earlier this spring when the sign up bonus was only 25,000 miles.
In addition, they offer an annual companion fare on a round trip ticket for $99 plus taxes.
Why do we have an Alaska Airlines card with no plans to go to Alaska? See the route map [1] and you’ll find that they have many routes from all over to the west coast! I’ve found it’s also a cheap way to take the family to Hawaii using miles and the companion fare.
It’s our Free Money [2] Friday offer.
