Quick Thoughts
It’s interesting to see a new Alaska Airlines shopping portal promotion so soon after their last one, as that previous offer only ended a few weeks ago.
This is a useful bonus seeing as it represents 3.33x bonus miles per dollar if spending exactly $150. Considering the fact that Mileage Plan miles are generally worth more than other airline miles, that’s a better deal than a comparable offer from other airline portals.
Be sure to compare rates on Cashback Monitor before clicking through from the Alaska portal just in case another shopping portal offers a better return despite the bonus.
