Alaska Mileage Plan is offering “Oregonians and residents of Southwest Washington” 5,000 miles just for joining Mileage Plan. They’re offering an extra 20,000 miles for making one qualifying roundtrip (any ticket flying from, to, or connecting in Portland that isn’t a “Hot Deal” fare) between February 15 and April 1.
Very tempting! Add that to an Alaska Visa and a status match, and it could be the start of a nice relationship. š

I've written in the past about how Marriott is the only major hotel group to offer bonuses for new members who join and complete qualifying activity. With the new Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program having launched just a couple of days ago, it's worth noting…

Alaska Airlines has just announced a Valentine's Day buy one get one fare sale. This sale is valid only for tickets booked today, and with it you can buy one economy ticket, and get a second economy ticket for just the taxes and fees. This is only valid…
An Alaska MP membership along with a UA or CO membership complement each other well. With all the partners Alaska has…pretty much just credit your non-Star Alliance flights (DL,AA,AF,BA,and others) to Alaska and the rest on one’s CO or UA. That’s a nice way to combine a lot of different carriers onto 2 diff accounts.
