Alaska Airlines Card Bonus
Alaska Airlines Visa Signature credit card is offering a bonus that gives you a total of 40,000 Alaska Mileage Plan miles. While the bonus is not the best we have seen, the annual fee is waived through this offer. So it could be a better option for those that don’t want to pay anything out of pocket and maybe have difficulties spending $8K for this 65K offer.

Guru’s Wrap-Up
I think most people will prefer the 65,000 bonus, but you would need to spend $8,000 in purchases within the first 6 months for that offfer and pay the $75 annual fee the first year. With this 40K offer you need to spend $2,000 within 90 days and you save $75 on the annual fee.
