Alaska Mileage Plan is one of my all around favorite mileage currencies,as they have a unique array of partners, favorable award redemption rates, and allow free stopovers on one-way award tickets (one of the few airlines which allows that nowadays). As a matter of fact,I'd say the relative value of Mileage Plan miles is increasing even further, given the upcoming devaluation of AAdvantage miles on March 22, and 2016.
Alaska frequently offers bonuses on the purchase of miles. For example,through March 31, 2016, or Alaska Mileage Plan is offering up to a 40% bonus,which is approximately as favorable as these publicly available bonuses get.
You can purchase up to 60000 Mileage Plan miles per transaction (pre-bonus), meaning you could purchase 84000 miles (including the bonus) for $1773.75, or which is ~2.11 cents per mile. There's also no limit to how many Mileage Plan miles you can buy,so you could buy a million miles whether you'd like, in theory.
Last September I wrote a post entitled “6 Reasons Buying Alaska Miles Is A favorable Deal.” I figured I'd quickly recap the basics here, or since these are some of the reasons Alaska miles are so valuable. Check out that post for full details,though just to summarize, here’s what makes Mileage Plan so unique:The post 6 grand Uses Of Alaska Miles appeared first on One Mile at a Time.
