Unlock More Alaska Miles This Fall: Easy Ways to Boost Your Points

Want to rack up Alaska Airlines miles faster? Here are some sneaky ways to do it! First, flying with Alaska Airlines is a no-brainer. You'll earn miles based on how far you go. Saver fares get 30% of miles flown, while other classes snag 100%. Bonus miles, up to 100%, are up for grabs too, depending on your seat and route. MVP members? You'll get an extra bonus, up to 150%! But did you know you can also earn miles by flying with Alaska's buddies? They're part of the oneworld Alliance, which includes airlines like American and British Airways. Miles earned range from 25% to 100%, so check your fare class. Some airlines even dish out double miles for upper-class travel.

Credit cards are another easy way to pile up miles. The Alaska Airlines Visa Signature Card is a top pick, with a $95 annual fee and plenty of bonus offers. You'll get three miles for every $1 spent with Alaska, two miles for gas and select purchases, and one mile for everything else. Marriott Bonvoy cards can transfer to Alaska miles at a 3:1 ratio, too. Planning a vacay? Alaska Airlines members can earn miles on hotels and cruises. You'll get one mile per $1 spent, and Alaska Visa® cardholders earn double that. Plus, you can use your miles to book stays! Lastly, don't forget about ground travel. Car rentals and ride shares can net you miles. For example, Hertz offers up to 2,000 miles for rentals of five or more days. Lyft is in the mix too, so you can earn miles even when you're not in the air.
