Featuring outsized benefits at a relatively low cost, the Alaska Airlines Visa® credit card bests much of the airline credit card competition. It comes with an annual Companion Fare — that is, a ticket for your traveling partner for as little as $122 ($99 plus taxes and fees from $23) — which you'll get each year after your account anniversary, as long asa you spend $6,000 the previous 12 months. That perk alone could save you hundreds each year.
The card also comes with a robust sign-up bonus: Get 70,000 bonus miles plus Alaska's Famous Companion Fare™ from $122 ($99 fare plus taxes and fees from $23) with this offer. To qualify, make $3,000 or more in purchases within the first 90 days of opening your account. For a modest annual fee of $95, that's a great deal.
The Alaska Airlines Visa® credit card isn't the best pick for folks who don't often fly on this Seattle-based airline. But for folks traveling along the West Coast and for Alaska Airlines devotees, it's a go-to choice.
