There are a lot of card offers available but most of them are expired or they're targeted. I have used the 70K link in the wiki before to apply so maybe that's why it still works for me.

Cancel Alaska Personal after receiving companion pass
Hello all, I got the Alaska personal card AFTER they made the change to requiring $6,000 spend to get a companion pass unfortunately 7/27/2023. So the first year I got the sign up bonus which was a companion pass and I was close to the spend to get the companion pass for next year so I completed that.
I just received the spend companion pass in my account 7/25/2025 expiration and my annual fee just hit 7/31/2024. Going forward, I don't plan to use the card that much so it would be a waste. If I cancel the card to get the annual fee back, does that affect the companion pass I received from 2023-2024 spend? Will it get taken away or I can safely cancel and keep the award I earned

was it 7 days after the $1500 spend, or 7 days after the statement where you had spent the $1500?

new 50K offer--$99 CF fee is waived
Limited time offer: https://secure.bankofamerica.com/app...single/#/info/
Companion Fare cert $99 fee is waived, just pay taxes & fees on 2nd ticket.. Not a great offer but you do save $99 on the CF cert. Still requires $6K spend to receive CF 2nd year.

Does anyone know if partner booking fee and taxes paid for award tickets count as Alaska purchases eligible for 3 points per $1?

Does anyone recommend getting the biz card now to start the clock or wait for a better offer?
I just got both Hawaiian cards but am curious whether there will be a different card in the future for the combined program. Better to get the alaska cards now as well and hope the new product bypasses the 24 month language?

Just canceled after 7 years. Ate this years companion fare. Good riddance to Alaskas treating Portland like the poor stepchild.
