AlaskaAir is running a 60,000 mileage bonus plus BOGO (buy one get one free) award for new card enrollment. Alaska announced they will be merging Hawaiian Airlines mileage program on Oct 01. I have a Hawaiian Air mileage program and credit card. When is the best time to open Alaskair credit card to optimize mileage bonus? Will new Alaskaair Mileage credit cards be accepted for Hawaiian Airlines credit card holders after October 01?
