- The Bank of America Alaska cards have increased sign-up bonuses:
– Summit: 100,000 miles and a 25,000 mile companion award after $6,000 spend in 90 days

– Business: 70,000 miles and a $99 companion fare after $4,000 spend in 90 days
The good news? It’s not Southwest. - The Southwest Rapid Rewards Plus Visa has an increased sign-up bonus of 80,000 miles after $1,000 spend in three months.
The bad news? Well, Southwest. - Kroger stores have a 4x fuel point promotion on third party gift cards other than Amazon and flexible fuel cards through November 3.
For those keeping track at home, things are bleak but not dead in Kroger fuel points land. - Giftcards.com has a bonus $10 gift card with a $100 Visa Virtual gift card using promo code TREATMORE, limit three per account.
This promo code is showing on the portals, so make sure to use one. - Capital One has a 30% transfer bonus to Virgin Atlantic through November 20, making the ratio 1:1.3.
- Alaska is adding two new long-haul flights:
– Seattle – Osaka, 4x weekly starting May 14, 2027
– Seattle – Tahiti, 3x weekly starting June 11, 2027
Availability is often best right at route launch. - InComm Incentives launched new promos for gift card purchases:
– 1% off and no fees on $25,000 for existing customers using JOY26
– 1% off and no fees on $50,000 for new customers using WELCOME26
These are Incomm gift cards. (Thanks to GCA)
Happy Thursday!

Let’s be Southwest positive for a change: At least the party seats are gone.
