Alaska Airlines Giving away 40,000 Free Flights

The catering is BAD on Alaska Airlines, and they know it.

As a 75k gold member on Alaska Airlines, we fly a lot. Last year we flew over 95k miles on Alaska Airlines flights alone, and in total around 120,000 including partners.

It allows two people to travel together, while the second person only has to pay the taxes and fees. Currently, the offer from Bank of America is waiving the $99 co pay, but every year upon renewal, you’ll pay that in addition to the taxes and fees. One of the questions we get all the time is...
