This offer is supposed to\u00a0target Washington residents only, but several people have applied for this card and confirmed over the phone that they will receive the 50k bonus after applying and being approved, so you have to decide if this is worth taking the risk \/ credit inquiry for you.<\/p>\n

This is\u00a0not an affiliate link & I do not receive a commission if you apply. There are risks involved in applying so\u00a0do not hold me liable for not getting the bonus<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

In the past, the best offer for this card was for 40,000 bonus points, but is usually 25,000.<\/p>\n

I like the Alaska Airlines Visa offer for many reasons. Having the card gets you a $118 companion ticket, and when using it the companion is still eligible for mileage accrual & upgrades. That companion certificate is worth the $75 itself. It’s also issued by Bank of America. For those of you who have hit your limits with AMEX, Citi, & Chase, its nice to see good offers come out from different issuers.<\/p>\n

You’re probably wondering what you can do with Alaskan miles. You can redeem them on partners like Cathay Pacific & Emirates. Hello Hong Kong \/ Dubai. This one card won’t get you enough miles to fly RT to those destinations but it brings you a lot closer. Reports of BOA cards is that you can hold several of the same card.<\/p>\n

I personally will probably try to find a few other offers to apply for at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I only recommend applying for this if you’re comfortable taking some risks and have …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1471,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[33],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"http:\/\/point2steve.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/37602-hi-Tailfade.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/point2steve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1461"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/point2steve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/point2steve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/point2steve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/point2steve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1461"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"http:\/\/point2steve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1461\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1472,"href":"http:\/\/point2steve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1461\/revisions\/1472"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/point2steve.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/point2steve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/point2steve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/point2steve.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
