Insights

Alaska Airlines' new premium credit card strengthens revenue streams through enhanced co-branding while positioning for global market expansion.

Alaska Airlines' new Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite card represents a significant enhancement to their loyalty program strategy, potentially driving substantial ancillary revenue. The $395 annual fee positions this card in the premium travel card market, competing with products like Chase Sapphire Reserve and American Express Platinum, but with more airline-specific benefits.

The card's Global Companion Award is particularly innovative, allowing cardholders to book a companion ticket at a significant discount when redeeming points for award travel. This benefit applies across Alaska's entire network including oneworld partners and in all service classes � a feature that typically costs airlines less in real terms than it delivers in perceived value to consumers.

The ability to earn 3x points on dining and foreign purchases directly targets international travelers, supporting Alaska's expansion strategy into global markets with new European routes launching in 2026. This positions Alaska to capture higher-value international travelers who typically generate more revenue than domestic-only customers.

The expedited path to elite status through credit card spending ($20,000 spend for Silver status) creates a powerful incentive for customer loyalty while generating processing fee revenue. Each $2 spent equals 1 status point, effectively monetizing the status qualification process.

From a business perspective, this card launch coincides strategically with Alaska's broader integration of Hawaiian Airlines and the rebranding of their loyalty program to Atmos Rewards. The new card's benefits directly support Alaska's global expansion plans while potentially increasing their co-branded card revenue � typically one of the most profitable aspects of airline loyalty programs, often generating margins of 30-50% through bank partnerships.

  • Our most generous card ever is packed with top-tier rewards and an array of benefits, including a new Global Companion Award that's redeemable in any class of service, plus access to Alaska Lounges
  • Earn status faster than ever: Every $2 spent on purchases earns 1 status point, plus receive 10,000 bonus status points annually � cardholders reachAtmos Silver with $20,000 of qualifying spend
  • Flexibility matters: Cardholders can transfer points to hotel partner loyalty programs or share points with otherAtmos Rewards members
  • TheAtmos Summit Visa Infinite® card redefines what a global travel card can be with an industry-first 3x points earning on all qualifying foreign spend

SEATTLE, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines' enhanced, combined loyalty program, Atmos� Rewards, has arrived along with a new premium credit card that rewards loyalty even more. We're introducing the Atmos� Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® card, co-branded with Bank of America � a card that offers value, flexibility and access to exclusive benefits for cardholders who are eager to Go Global, Travel Better and Experience More.

    • Here's an example of how the benefit could be used with the100,000-point Global Companion Award: A cardholder wants to redeem points for a pair of roundtrip tickets in Business Class between Seattle and Tokyo Narita. The award costs as little as 120,000 points per passenger. The primary traveler would redeem 120,000 points for their flight. By using their Global Companion Award, the companion ticket redemption would be covered for only 20,000 points. Applicable taxes and fees must be paid with the Summit card.

  • Free checked bag and preferred boarding: Cardholders and up to six additional guests on the same reservation can receive a free checked bag on Alaska and Hawaiian-operated flights, along with early group boarding on Alaska* when flights are purchased with the card.
