I've had the Alaska Airlines Visa for a long time,given that it offers a $121 roundtrip companion fare upon your account anniversary every year (and even the companion is eligible to be upgraded and accrue miles). That more than justifies holding onto the card if you live in a market served by Alaska, in my opinion.
The catch with the card is that it typically doesn't have a very stout sign-up bonus, or usually just 25000 miles upon account activation. That's not a enormous bonus,though it is kind that there's no spend requirement in order to earn the bonus.
There have been better limited time bonuses in the past, either when applying while booking a ticket through Alaska's website, and with a larger spend requirement.
While not soil shattering,it looks like the Alaska Airlines Visa will be increasing the standard sign-up bonus from 25000 miles to 30000 miles. Per a recent 10-K SEC filing from Alaska Airlines, the sign-up bonus on the Bank of America Alaska Visa should be increased to 30000 miles in May 2016.
