 Earn Miles Without Flying Update: Alaska and Bank of America have sweetened the welcome offers on both consumer cards further, adding a discount code good for 50% off a future flight. The good news is that the discount code is awarded within 10 days of approval with no spending required.
The bad news is that it’s only good for economy flights between September 8th and November 18th, and has an amazing amalgamation of destination-based restrictions:
- Valid on flights departing to Hawaii, Florida, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Belize, and Mexico on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays only, and for flights departing from these destinations on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays only.
- For all other eligible markets, the discount code is valid for flights departing on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays only.
I (Tim) guess it’s still better than nothing, but given that it’s barely valid for two months, it would be nice to see it be a teentsy-weentsy bit more flexible.

Quick Thoughts
These higher-than-standard welcome offers have come and gone several times since the cards were launched last year. It’s always good to see them return, but there’s no guarantee that this’ll continue happening on an ongoing basis, so if you’ve been considering applying for one of these cards, now seems to be a great opportunity seeing as the welcome offers have increased.
On the Atmos Ascent and Atmos Business cards, in addition to earning bonus points, you’ll also earn a Companion fare that can be redeemed for someone traveling with you for a $99 fare + taxes. The Atmos Summit card, meanwhile, has the highest welcome offer of all three cards with 100,000 bonus points available, plus a 25,000-point Global Companion fare.
