Nothing is free
The BoA Alaska card, gives you 25k miles , but charges you an annual fee of $75 upfront.

I got 50%, hubby 40%. So, am thinking of buy 2 lots of 60K plus bonus. Likely to be a silly question: If I do this, will I be able to use points to redeem for 2 tickets (self & hubby) from my account later on? Thanks in advance!

I got 50%, but probably won't be buying it because I have tons of SPG points that will be converting into AS miles in the near future.... thanks to the merger.

By that time I will have about 100K AS miles....

I need to buy alaska miles for my future emirates trip. Can I buy miles from someone else with 50% bonus, use my credit card, and gift it to my alaska account?

Not sure but sounds a bit fishy.

Be careful...

Does anyone know how long an account needs to be open in order to buy miles (in general, and specifically for this promo)?

I created an account today, and clicked through to 'see' my offer, but the site said my account was ineligible to purchase miles...

Cheers,

Well, guess that rules out this promo then! Where did you see the two week rule? I've looked all around their site but can't find any documentation...
