Alaska Airlines Offering 50% Bonus Elite Qualifying Miles

by Scott Mackenzie
Last updated March 6, 2020

In what is the first promotion I’ve seen by a U.S. carrier to combat the decline in travel, Alaska Airlines is offering its members a 50% bonus in elite qualifying miles (EQM). That means for every mile you fly on Alaska Airlines you’ll earn a minimum of 1.5 elite qualifying miles. First class fares earn additional EQM already and will also get a 50% bonus. You must register before flying.

This promotion is only eligible for flights between March 7 and April 11, 2020 and must be on flights marketed and operated by either Alaska Airlines or Horizon Airlines. Marketed means you have an “AS” flight number. Operated means you see the Alaska Airlines name on the side of the plane.

Stack this with some of Alaska’s great fare sales, like $20 one-way tickets between San Jose and Los Angeles or $99 from California to Hawaii!

Terms & Conditions

Eligible members who register for this promotion before their first qualifying flight will receive a 50% bonus on elite qualifying miles earned on flights marketed and operated by Alaska Airlines or Horizon Airlines between March 7 and April 11, 2020. Mileage for qualifying flights must be credited to the member’s Mileage Plan™ account. Not valid on free or award travel. The bonus elite-qualifying miles awarded as part of this promotion apply only to the number of miles that count toward elite status qualification and will not be available for redemption. All terms and conditionsof the Mileage Plan program apply.
