Alaska Business Visa Card improved bonus
The Alaska Business Visa Card is offering the following bonus after spending $3,000 within the first 90 days of account opening:
- 50,000 Alaska Mileage Plan miles
- An Alaska companion fare from $122 ($99 fare plus taxes and fees from $23)
Personally, I value Alaska miles at 1.5 cents each, given the uses of Alaska Mileage Plan miles. That means the miles alone are worth $750 to me. That doesn’t even account for the value of the Alaska companion fare.
Alaska Business Visa card eligibility
Many may be curious about eligibility and restrictions associated with the Alaska Business Visa Card. A few things to note:
- Among business cards, anecdotally, I find Bank of America business cards to be quite easy to get approved for, assuming you have excellent credit
- Anecdotally it seems that you’re eligible for the Alaska Business Visa (including the bonus) even if you’ve had it in the past; this is one of the best cards out there in that regard
- Applying for a Bank of America business card typically won’t count toward the 5/24 limit with Chase, if that’s a consideration
Business cards don’t get much better than this in terms of approval odds and bonus eligibility.
Why the Alaska Business Visa Card is worth it
Beyond the bonus, there are several reasons to get the Alaska Business Visa Card. The card has a $70 annual fee for the company, plus a $25 fee for the card, meaning one user having the card would just cost $95 annually.
The card offers lots of amazing perks, including:
- A companion fare from $122 ($99 fare plus taxes and fees from $23) on your account anniversary every year after spending $6,000 on the card in the prior anniversary year; this is in addition to the companion fare offered as part of the bonus
- 3x Mileage Plan miles on Alaska Airlines purchases, 2x Mileage Plan miles on gas, EV charging stations, local transit (including ride share), and shipping, and 1x Mileage Plan miles on all other purchases, all with no foreign transaction fees
- A 10% rewards bonus on all miles earned from purchases if your company has an eligible Bank of America account
- A first checked bag free on Alaska Airlines flights for the card member and up to six companions on the same reservation when paying with the card; this also applies to authorized users, as long as the card is used to pay for the ticket, even when not traveling with the primary card member
- Priority boarding on Alaska Airlines flights for the card member and up to six companions on the same reservation when paying with the card; this also applies to authorized users, as long as the card is used to pay for the ticket, even when not traveling with the primary card member
- 20% savings on inflight purchases of food, drinks, and Wi-Fi, when paying with your card
- $100 off an Alaska Lounge+ membership annually when you purchase the membership with your card
If you fly Alaska Airlines with any frequency, then this card should be in your wallet.

How is this improved? It was just 50k + $100 statement credit 1 week ago. This is the opposite of improved.
The offer is 50k + a companion fare ($122) value. This is in addition to the annual companion fare.
If you can use the companion fare it's a small improvement from the $100 credit.
Why is this being advertised when the best offer is usually at 70,000?
