Promotional Period

Promotional Period

From mid-April to May 2026, the Alaska Atmos Rewards program is rolling out an exciting promotion for purchasing points. Depending on your membership level, you may qualify for different offers. However, the best version of this promotion could reward you with up to 100% bonus points on your purchases.

Bonus Reward Tiers

Here's how the bonus structure works:

• Buy between 3,000 and 9,000 points, and receive an additional 80% bonus.
• Buy between 10,000 and 19,000 points, and receive an additional 90% bonus.
• Buy between 20,000 and 100,000 points, and receive an additional 100% bonus.

Be sure to check your account to see which offers you qualify for, as some members may be targeted for better or worse deals.

Cost of Purchasing Points

Typically, Alaska Atmos Rewards points are priced at about 3.5 cents each, excluding taxes and any discounts or bonuses. If you qualify for the 100% bonus and purchase 100,000 points, your total cost will be $3,762.50, which breaks down to roughly 1.88 cents per point.

Points Purchase Limits

The number of points you can buy is based on your membership level:

• Premium members of Alaska Atmos Rewards can purchase points without limit.
• Non-premium members can buy up to 150,000 points each year, excluding bonus points.

Keep in mind that for each transaction, you can only purchase a maximum of 100,000 points (before bonuses), but you can make multiple transactions. Additionally, you must have been an Atmos Rewards member for at least 10 days before you can purchase points.

Partner Airlines

You can use your Alaska Atmos Rewards points with partner airlines such as:

• Aer Lingus
• American Airlines
• British Airways
• Cathay Pacific
• Qantas
• And many more!

Why You Should Buy Alaska Atmos Rewards Points

Alaska Atmos Rewards points are valuable for several reasons:

• They offer attractive redemption rates, especially for short flights.
• There’s a wide range of airline partners, providing flexibility in point usage.
• You can make stopovers at multiple destinations without additional point costs.

Moreover, when you use Atmos Rewards points for flights, you also accumulate points towards elite status, which is a great incentive to remain a loyal member of the program.

How to Maximize Your Points

One of the standout features of this program is the ability to make stopovers on flights without incurring extra point costs. This adds significant value to your travel experience, especially since many programs have phased out this benefit.

Associated Costs

Many users may be frustrated by airlines charging fees for award tickets. Fortunately, most Atmos Rewards partners do not impose these fees, with a few exceptions like British Airways and Hainan Airlines.

Value of Alaska Atmos Rewards Points

Everyone perceives the value of points differently. Personally, I value each Alaska Atmos Rewards point at around 1.5 cents, which seems reasonable based on my experiences.

How to Earn Points

You can earn points through various methods, from flying to other activities. One of the easiest ways is by using a co-branded credit card with Bank of America.
