Quick Thoughts
The shopping portal is offering 2x, 2.14x or 2.73x if spending at the exact $150, $350 or $550 thresholds respectively. That’s not as good as some of the other airline shopping portal promotions right now, but it could still be worthwhile if you find that Mileage Plan miles are harder to collect than other airlines like United, Delta and Southwest.
One of the useful things about the Alaska Airlines portal (and the United portal for that matter, but not Delta or Southwest) is that they offer card-linked in-store earning opportunities. There aren’t as many in-store retailers available as there are online, but it can be useful if you’re someone who prefers shopping in-store rather than online.
