We shared yesterday about the ability to earn 25x Alaska Airlines miles on 1-800-Flowers and Harry & David orders. If you can’t get enough of Mileage Plan miles, there’s another easy opportunity to earn 4,000-6,000 bonus miles which only needs to come at a cost of $5.99.
The Deal
- Earn Alaska Airlines miles when setting up a Greenlight account and paying the first monthly fee:
- Mileage Plan members – 4,000 bonus miles
- MVP, MVP Gold, MVP Gold 75K & MVP Gold 100K Members – 6,000 bonus miles
- Direct link to offer.
Key Terms
- Expires March 19, 2025.
- New Greenlight customers are eligible for Alaska Airlines miles when they sign up for Greenlight from this page and provide a valid Alaska Airlines Number.
- Miles are paid out after customers pay for their first month of Greenlight and remain customers for 15 days after paying for their first month.
Quick Thoughts
Greenlight is a service that enables you to open an account for your child(ren) and provide them with a debit card that earns 1% cashback on purchases.
Greenlight has three different plans costing $5.99, $9.98 or $14.98 per month depending on which features you want:
The terms for this Alaska Airlines promotion don’t state that you need to subscribe to a specific type of plan, so a Core plan costing $5.99 per month should suffice. You get the first month free, so you’ll need to keep the account open beyond that first month in order to be charged the first monthly fee, then you’ll need to keep the account for at least 15 days after that charge date. Unless there’s some kind of weird billing setup, that means that you should be able to earn 4,000 or 6,000 bonus miles (depending on your status level) for just one $5.99 monthly fee.
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members now earn 1,000 Elite Qualifying Miles (EQMs) for every 3,000 redeemable miles they earn through shopping partners. Provided Greenlight is regarded by Alaska as being a participating partner, Mileage Plan members with some level of MVP status will earn 2,000 EQMs in addition to the 6,000 miles, while regular members will earn 1,000 EQMs.

I saw their referred reward on their site. If you refer a friend, both gets $30 after sign up for 35 days. Do I get $30 bonus for using your link?
I’m afraid not. The link in the post isn’t a referral link – it’s Alaska Airlines’ partner link. If you use a referral link, you wouldn’t be able to earn the Alaska miles and vice versa.
Got it. Thanks
With all the different “everyday partner” offers qualifying for EQM now, I’m being careful which ones I go for and when. Do I really need the 2000 EQM from this right now, in January 2025, at the start of the membership year? I’m imagining it’s once per Mileage Plan account lifetime. The program change later this year may throw that into some flux, but for now I’m just taking notes.
I did this deal last year and got the 6K AS miles for being AS MVP. Here are the data points and timeline:
New Greenlight customers are eligible for Alaska Airlines miles when they sign up for Greenlight from this page and provide a valid Alaska Airlines Number. Miles are paid out after customers pay for their first month of Greenlight and remain customers for 15 days after paying for their first month. Regular Alaska Mileage Plan Members are eligible for 4,000 miles and MVP, MVP Gold, MVP Gold 75K, and MVP Gold 100K Alaska Mileage Plan Members are eligible for 6,000 miles. Offer valid until 3/19/2025.
Grant. Have you experimented with loading debit cards to greenlight?
Yes I would like to know the answer too
No, I didn’t try loading any debit cards in the Greenlight app.
When did you cancel the account?
I closed my account through the Greenlight app on 12/28/24.
This is clutch if it actually awards 2K EQM. Signed up, we’ll see how it goes.
Looks like you also need to deposit $10 to a child’s account, so is it worth 15.99 and the hassle? I’m not convinced.
you get the $10 back by withdrawing after 15 days. 5 min of work for 666 miles per dollar is sollid. 4K points can be useful ya never know
