A reader reached out today with an email she received on her Alaska Airlines Visa Signature card with an offer to get 2% back as a statement credit on up to $3,000 in purchases from now until 12/31/21. That should be on top of the Alaska miles earned for purchases and it might make for a great stack with the current offer to earn elite qualifying miles with spend.
The Deal

Quick Thoughts
This offer is targeted, but it’s worth keeping an eye out for the email if you’re a cardholder. While 2% cash back isn’t an amazing return on its own, earning 2% + 1 Alaska Mile + elite qualifying miles for spend is a very good deal overall. If you value Alaska miles at greater than 1c each, that’s like a return of 3% which would take away any opportunity cost in spending toward elite qualifying miles (though if you’re not in position to need those elite qualifying miles to reach the next status level, that part obviously won’t matter).
My wife did not receive this offer on her Alaska Airlines Visa card, but if you do receive the offer it is certainly worth a quick click to activate it in order to earn the cash back on any purchases you happen to make.
