The new card is designed for international travelers and offers a range of benefits focused on flexibility, status acceleration, and experiential rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brett Catlin, Vice President of Loyalty at Alaska Airlines, emphasized that the card aims to set a new benchmark for travel credit cards. \u201cWe crafted this card from the ground up to offer unique, industry-leading benefits with outsized rewards,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Global Companion Award benefit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The standout feature of the new card is the Global Companion Award. This benefit allows cardholders to cover a companion\u2019s award ticket up to a specific points threshold when booking travel for two on the same itinerary. It applies across Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, oneworld, and other global partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>25,000-point award:<\/strong> Earned after qualifying spend and annually thereafter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>100,000-point award:<\/strong> Earned with $60,000 in annual purchases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, a roundtrip Business Class ticket from Seattle to Tokyo typically costs 120,000 points. With the companion award, the second ticket would only require 20,000 points, offering significant value to cardholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accelerated rewards on travel and dining<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cardholders earn 3x points on eligible dining, foreign purchases, and Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines spending. Bank of America account holders also receive a 10% bonus on all rewards, effectively earning 3.3 points per dollar in these categories\u2014surpassing other airline cards in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional perks and fee savings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other benefits include access to Alaska Lounges, faster status progression, and waived booking fees (up to $25 per person per roundtrip) on partner award redemptions. Taxes and partner-imposed surcharges still apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the updated Atmos Rewards structure, \u201cmiles\u201d are now referred to as \u201cpoints,\u201d and elite-qualifying miles are called \u201cstatus points,\u201d reflecting a broader, modernized approach to travel rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keywords<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alaska Airlines, Atmos Rewards, Summit Visa Infinite, travel credit card, Global Companion Award, loyalty program, airline points, premium travel, Bank of America, frequent flyer benefits<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Launch of premium Summit Visa Infinite card Alaska Airlines has introduced its new loyalty program, Atmos\u2122 Rewards, along with the Atmos\u2122 Rewards Summit Visa Infinite\u00ae card, a premium credit card co-branded with Bank of America.
