The Atmos™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® Credit Card is the latest premium Alaska Airlines cobranded card unveiled alongside refreshes of Alaska’s two existing cards. The card’s release marks the launch of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines’ combined loyalty program, Atmos Rewards.

Points and miles enthusiasts are buzzing about the Summit’s earning rates and benefits. Prospective cardholders may wonder if they’re eligible for the card and to earn its welcome bonus, especially if they currently hold or previously held an Alaska Airlines or Hawaiian Airlines card.

Before you apply, let’s determine if you meet the eligibility criteria for the Atmos Rewards Summit card.

Atmos Rewards Summit welcome offer and benefits

One of the highlights of applying for a new card is the opportunity to earn a welcome bonus.

All three Atmos Rewards credit cards currently have large welcome offers, but the Atmos Rewards Summit has the highest offer of the three.

New cardholders can earn 100,000 bonus points and a 25,000-point Global Companion Award after spending $6,000 on purchases within the first 90 days from account opening.

In addition to a generous welcome offer, cardholders earn:

  • 3 points per dollar spent on Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines purchases
  • 3 points per dollar spent on eligible dining purchases
  • 3 points per dollar spent on foreign transactions
  • 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases

As a premium card, some of its notable benefits include:

  • Anniversary status points: Receive 10,000 status points each card anniversary, putting you halfway to Atmos Rewards Silver status.
  • Free points sharing: You can share points with up to 10 other Atmos Rewards members at no charge.
  • Global Companion Awards: Each anniversary, receive an annual 25,000-point Global Companion Award and earn a second 100,000-point Global Companion Award after spending $60,000 or more with your card.
  • Lounge access: Receive eight Alaska Lounge passes per year (two per calendar quarter), and starting in 2026, access to an elevated premium bar experience.
  • Pathway to elite status: Earn 1 status point per $2 spent on purchases, earning Atmos Silver status (equivalent to Oneworld Ruby status) after $20,000 in spending and Atmos Rewards Gold status (equivalent to Oneworld Sapphire status) after $60,000 in spending.
  • Waived award fees on partner flights: Save up to $12.50 per person one-way when using points to book partner award tickets.

As a frequent traveler, I find the card’s earning rates and benefits quite amazing. There are only a few eligibility rules to be aware of before applying.

What if you’re an existing Alaska or Hawaiian cardholder?

The Alaska Airlines Visa Signature Card® (no longer available) has been converted to the Atmos™ Rewards Ascent Visa Signature® Credit Card and the Alaska Airlines Visa® Business Credit Card (no longer available) is now the Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature® Business Card.

You won’t be eligible for a welcome bonus on either of these cards if you currently have them, because your old accounts would have changed over.

However, if you currently hold the Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Mastercard® or the Hawaiian Airlines® Business Mastercard®, you would potentially qualify for the Atmos Rewards Summit card.

The information for the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature, Alaska Airlines Visa Business, Hawaiian Airlines Mastercard and Hawaiian Airlines Business cards has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

What are the eligibility requirements for the Atmos Rewards Summit?

In short, since the Atmos Rewards Summit is a newly released card, most people applying for the card should be eligible to earn the welcome offer. To increase your chances of approval, you should have a credit score of at least 670.

There is no family restriction on holding more than one Atmos Rewards card or earning the welcome bonuses.

So if you’re planning on applying for the Atmos Rewards Ascent or the Atmos Rewards Business, you can earn the welcome bonus on either card alongside the bonus on the Atmos Rewards Summit.

Don’t forget Bank of America’s application rules

Now that we’ve covered eligibility for existing cardholders of other Atmos Rewards cards, don’t rush to apply before you consider Bank of America’s application restrictions.

The most common rule you’ll likely be subject to is the 2/3/4 rule. This means you can only get approved for two new Bank of America cards in a 30-day period, three cards in a 12-month period and four cards in a 24-month period.

This applies to personal cards and not Bank of America-issued business cards.

What’s the best strategy for getting the Atmos Rewards Summit?

If you’re thinking about applying for the Atmos Rewards Summit card and other Atmos Rewards cards, there are several paths you can take.

Apply for the Atmos Rewards Summit first

Since the Atmos Rewards Summit is brand-new, apply for this card first to secure the high welcome offer.

Apply for a personal and business Atmos Rewards card

If you were planning on applying for two cards within a short period of time, consider applying for the Atmos Rewards Summit and the Atmos Rewards Business to maximize your chances of approval. (But remember the Bank of America restrictions.)

Applying for more than one Atmos Rewards card can unlock substantial value.

New Atmos Rewards Business cardholders earn a welcome bonus of 80,000 bonus points and a $99 Companion Fare (plus taxes and fees from $23) after spending $5,000 or more on purchases within the first 90 days from account opening.

Paired with the Atmos Rewards Summit card, you’ll have more than 180,000 bonus points after meeting the minimum spending requirement on each card, enabling you to maximize the program’s great award chart.

The bonus points are enough for a one-way business-class ticket on Japan Airlines from Los Angeles to Tokyo for 75,000 points or on Qatar Airways from New York to Doha for 70,000 points.

In addition, by holding another Atmos Rewards card, you broaden your points-earning potential. You’ll earn 2 points per dollar spent at electric vehicle charging stations and gas stations, on local transit (including ride-hailing services), and on shipping purchases.

By holding both cards, you’ll maximize the Atmos Rewards program’s offerings, including the ability to earn elite status with Alaska and its Oneworld equivalent through eligible credit card spending.

Atmos Rewards Business cardholders earn 1 status point for every $3 in eligible spending (up to 30,000 status points per year), while Atmos Rewards Summit cardholders earn 1 status point for every $2 spent, with no spending cap. Beginning in 2026, status earnings will no longer be capped on the business card.

Bottom line

As it’s a new credit card, many applicants may be eligible to apply for the Atmos Rewards Summit and earn its welcome bonus, given that you have an eligible credit score and are not in violation of Bank of America’s 2/3/4 rule.

For Oneworld loyalists and those looking to earn elite status and take advantage of a great award chart, the new Atmos Rewards Summit can be your investment in this new loyalty program.

How to earn Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards points http://livelaughlovedo.com/how-to-earn-alaska-airlines-atmos-rewards-points/ http://livelaughlovedo.com/how-to-earn-alaska-airlines-atmos-rewards-points/#respond Fri, 05 Sep 2025 02:01:46 +0000 http://livelaughlovedo.com/2025/09/05/how-to-earn-alaska-airlines-atmos-rewards-points/ [ad_1]

Alaska Airlines’ and Hawaiian Airlines’ much-anticipated joint loyalty program, Atmos Rewards, launched in August. With it came a slew of under-the-radar perks and a unique way to choose how to earn points and elite status. Though Atmos Rewards introduced new benefits and changes, compared to its predecessor program, Mileage Plan, it will still utilize Alaska’s award chart.

So, if you’re wondering how you can earn Atmos Rewards points for your next redemption, keep reading to find out more.

Note that Hawaiian Airlines will fully integrate with the Atmos Rewards program Oct. 1.

Earn Atmos Rewards points by flying

Alaska Airlines partners with over 30 airlines, including but not limited to members of the Oneworld alliance. You can earn Atmos Rewards points with all of these partners, but a few do not offer Atmos Rewards award redemptions.

For now, Atmos Rewards uses a distance‑based points-earning structure. However, in 2026, the program will introduce two new ways to earn points — and members will get to choose which method they prefer.

  • Distance-based: Earn 1 point per mile flown (including award redemptions).
  • Spending-based: Earn 5 points per dollar spent on flights.
  • Segment-based: Earn 500 points per segment flown.

For distance- or spending-based earning, you’ll earn points per the current earning charts depending on which airline operates the flight and whose site you use to book. Premium fare classes earn bonus points on top of the usual 100% base points, while basic economy tickets (fare class X or U) only earn 30% of the base points.

For instance, say you booked a one-way nonstop Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), a distance of roughly 2,421 miles in economy fare class Y for $200 on alaskaair.com. Here’s what you would take home depending on which points-earning path you chose:

Reward your inbox with the TPG Daily newsletter

Join over 700,000 readers for breaking news, in-depth guides and exclusive deals from TPG’s experts

  • Distance-based: 3,632 points (150% of your miles flown)
  • Spending-based: 1,500 points (5 points per dollar spent)
  • Segment-based: 500 points (500 points per segment)

As you can see, it’s worth putting some thought into which method will be most lucrative for your travel plans. For instance, if you mostly use Alaska Airlines for short, nonstop domestic flights under 500 miles, the segment-based approach could work best. You may prefer the spending-based path if you typically book cash tickets (and especially if you hold an Atmos Rewards cobranded credit card), or distance-based if you often book long-haul flights with miles.

You can change your selection, which also determines how you earn elite status, up to once per calendar year. If you don’t choose, you’ll default to the spending‑based option.

Earn bonus points with elite status

All Atmos Rewards elite members earn bonus points on flights, including on Alaska’s 30-plus partner airlines. The number of bonus points you’ll receive depends on your status tier:

  • Atmos Silver: 25% bonus points
  • Atmos Gold: 50% bonus points
  • Atmos Platinum: 100% bonus points
  • Atmos Titanium: 150% bonus points

Along with its new loyalty program, Alaska recently unveiled its overhauled cobranded credit cards and an all-new premium card. All are offering a sizable chunk of Atmos Rewards points — as well as a valuable companion certificate — as part of their welcome bonuses. Plus, you’ll earn Atmos Rewards points on everyday purchases.

Here’s an overview of the Atmos Rewards program’s three card offerings:

Credit card Welcome bonus Earning structure Annual fee
Atmos™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® Credit Card Earn 100,000 bonus points and a 25,000-point Global Companion Award after spending $6,000 or more on purchases within the first 90 days from account opening. Cardholders can also earn a second 100,000-point Global Companion Award after spending $60,000 or more in a card anniversary year.
  • 3 points per dollar spent on eligible dining, foreign transactions, and Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines purchases
  • 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases
$395
Atmos™ Rewards Ascent Visa Signature® Credit Card Earn 80,000 bonus points and a $99 Companion Fare (plus taxes and fees from $23) after spending $4,000 or more on purchases within the first 120 days from account opening.
  • 3 points per dollar spent on eligible Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines purchases
  • 2 points per dollar spent on eligible gas, EV charging station, cable, streaming services and local transit (including ride-hailing services) purchases
  • 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases
$95
Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature® Business Card Earn 80,000 bonus points and a $99 Companion Fare (plus taxes and fees from $23) after spending $5,000 or more on purchases within the first 90 days from account opening.
  • 3 points per dollar spent on eligible Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines purchases
  • 2 points per dollar spent on eligible gas, EV charging station, shipping and local transit (including ride-hailing services) purchases
  • 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases
$70 for business, $25 per card

Beyond earning points, the above cards provide perks like free checked bags, priority boarding and inflight discounts. They also earn status points toward your next Atmos Rewards elite status tier.

Though it will not fully integrate with the Atmos Rewards program until Oct. 1, Hawaiian Airlines HawaiianMiles also offers two credit cards. Hawaiian miles currently transfer to Atmos Rewards at a 1:1 rate; starting in October, all Hawaiian miles will transition to Atmos Rewards points.

Here are the current Hawaiian cards offered:

Credit card Welcome offer Earning structure Annual fee
Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Mastercard® Earn up to 80,000 miles: Earn 50,000 miles after spending $2,000 on purchases within the first 90 days from account opening. Plus, earn 30,000 miles after spending $5,000 on purchases within the first 180 days.
  • Earn 3 miles per dollar spent on eligible Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines purchases.
  • Earn 2 miles per dollar spent on gas, dining and eligible grocery store purchases.
  • Earn 1 mile per dollar spent on all other purchases.
$99
Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Business Mastercard® Earn 50,000 bonus Hawaiian miles after spending $4,000 on purchases and paying the annual fee within 90 days from account opening. Plus, earn a one-time 50%-off companion discount for round-trip economy travel between Hawaii and North America on Hawaiian Airlines.
  • Earn 3 miles per dollar spent on eligible Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines purchases.
  • Earn 2 miles per dollar spent on gas, dining and office supply store purchases.
  • Earn 1 mile per dollar spent on all other purchases.
$99

Transfer Atmos Rewards points

Alaska Airlines’ transfer partners haven’t changed. You can still transfer points from Bilt Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy, and there’s a new way to share points with friends and family members.

What about HawaiianMiles? For now, you can still transfer HawaiianMiles to Atmos Rewards at a 1:1 ratio. As noted above, the HawaiianMiles program will officially end Oct. 1, when your remaining Hawaiian miles will automatically be moved into your Atmos Rewards account.

Transfer from Bilt Rewards

If you’re a member of Bilt Rewards, you can transfer Bilt Points to Atmos Rewards at a 1:1 ratio. However, Bilt points transfers are not eligible for Atmos status points.

Plus, if you hold the Atmos Rewards Summit or Atmos Rewards Ascent, you can earn 3 Atmos Rewards points for every dollar spent on eligible rent when paying through Bilt, on up to $50,000 per calendar year (terms apply).

Related: Alaska Airlines is sticking with Bilt — but don’t expect more Atmos Rewards transfer partners anytime soon

Transfer from Marriott Bonvoy

Marriott Bonvoy allows members to transfer points to Alaska Airlines at a 3:1 ratio, plus 5,000 bonus miles for every 60,000 points you transfer.

While the 3:1 ratio may cause you to lose some value, there are situations where it could make sense to convert Marriott points to airline miles.

Pool Atmos Rewards points with family and friends

Finally, you can transfer Atmos Rewards points to friends and family members — but the program charges $10 per 1,000 points transferred. That fee may be worth it if you just need a few thousand more points for a big redemption, but it could add up fast for larger transfers.

If pooling points with family and friends is important to you, you might want to consider applying for the Atmos Rewards Summit card. One major perk of this card is the ability to transfer points at no additional cost back and forth with up to 10 Atmos Rewards members. That’s great news for families and friend groups who’d like to pool their resources toward a flight.

Earn business rewards with EasyBiz

Alaska currently offers a business rewards program called EasyBiz, which allows businesses to earn Atmos Rewards points on employee travel (on top of what employees earn on their personal loyalty accounts). If you had an EasyBiz and/or Hawaiian Airlines Corporate Travel account before the launch of Atmos Rewards, your miles are now Atmos Rewards points.

With EasyBiz, companies can earn 1 Atmos Rewards point per dollar spent on base airfare. They can also access other features, like 24-hour reservation holds, ticket reports and travel management tools.

According to Alaska’s site, Atmos for Business will soon replace EasyBiz, though it’s unclear if or how the program will change during the rebranding. Atmos for Business bookings are slated to open in September 2025, but you can log in with your EasyBiz credentials now and explore the new portal.

Atmos Rewards offers several ways to earn points on travel other than flying. Read on to learn how you can boost your Atmos Rewards balance on hotels, rental cars, cruises and more.

Earn points with Alaska’s hotel partners

With Alaska Vacations, the program’s hotel booking site, Atmos Rewards members can access exclusive pricing and earn 1 point per dollar spent at nearly 1 million properties worldwide. You’ll also earn 1,000 status points for every 3,000 points earned through non-air spending with Alaska Vacations.

You can also earn Atmos Rewards points when booking hotels through one of Alaska’s partners:

Hotel partner Earning rate
Best Western Rewards Earn 250 Atmos Rewards points per stay on qualifying rates.
Choice Privileges Earn 250 Atmos Rewards points per eligible stay.
Coast Hotels Earn 500 Atmos Rewards points per qualifying stay.
IHG Hotels & Resorts Earn 500 Atmos Rewards points per qualifying stay.
Marriott Bonvoy Earn 2 Atmos Rewards points per dollar spent on all qualifying charges or 1 point per dollar spent on the room rate, depending on the hotel.
Rocketmiles Earn 500 to 10,000 Atmos Rewards points per night.

Earn points on car rentals and ride-hailing services

Similar to Alaska Vacations, Alaska Car Rentals lets members save up to 35% on base rates and earn bonus points on Avis and Budget car rentals as follows:

Atmos Rewards membership Earning rate
Basic members 500 points per rental
Atmos Rewards Visa credit card holders 750 points per rental
Atmos Silver and Gold members 1,000 points per rental
Atmos Platinum and Titanium members 1,250 points per rental

And, if you hold Atmos elite status, you can match it to Avis Preferred Plus or Avis President’s Club.

Alternatively, you can earn points on rentals booked through one of Atmos Rewards’ car partners as follows:

Car partner Earning rate
Alamo Earn 50 points per day on qualifying rentals at participating locations in the U.S. and Canada.
Avis Earn up to 1,250 points on qualifying rentals at participating locations, plus discounts.
Budget Earn up to 1,250 points on qualifying rentals at participating locations, plus discounts.
Dollar Earn 150 points per day on all rentals of three or more days (through Dec. 31).
Hertz Earn 200 points a day for rentals between one and four days, and 2,000 points for rentals of five-plus days (through Dec. 31).
National Earn 50 points per day on qualifying rentals at participating locations in the U.S. and Canada.
Thrifty Earn 150 points per day on rentals of three or more days.
Lyft Earn 2 points per dollar spent on everyday Lyft rides, and 3 points per dollar spent on airport and elevated Lyft rides. Link your accounts to get started.

Book a cruise

Alaska Airlines also offers a cruise booking platform, where Atmos Rewards members can earn 1 point per dollar spent on the purchase price of their cruise (excluding taxes and fees). Plus, you’ll earn 1,000 status points for every 3,000 points earned through non-air spending with Alaska Airlines Cruises.

Earn Atmos Rewards points with other partners

Travel bookings aren’t the only way to rack up more Atmos Rewards points. You can earn points on everyday purchases, like shopping and dining with Atmos Rewards’ other partners.

These points are in addition to what you’ll earn with the card you use to pay, so be sure to choose the right card — for example, one of the top dining cards or best cards for online shopping.

Atmos Rewards Shopping

Alaska Airlines’ shopping portal, recently rechristened Atmos Rewards Shopping, allows members to earn points online at over 1,100 retailers when they click through the portal to the merchant’s site. Or, install the Atmos Rewards Shopping button on your desktop browser to get alerts for points-earning opportunities at your favorite stores.

There are also in-store offers that you can link to your credit card to earn extra points while shopping in person.

Atmos Rewards Dining

When you set up an Atmos Rewards Dining account and add a credit card, you’ll automatically get points when you dine at participating restaurants and pay with that card.

You’ll earn up to 5 points per dollar spent on your total bill, including taxes and tip, depending on your membership status. Basic members earn just 1 point per 2 dollars spent. If you sign up for email alerts, you’ll become a Select member and earn 3 points per dollar spent. After dining 11 times in 12 months, you’ll reach VIP status and earn the maximum 5 points per dollar spent.

You may be able to earn additional points by leaving reviews for restaurants or participating in promotions. For example, at the time of writing, you can earn 500 bonus points when you join Atmos Rewards Dining and spend $30 on eating out in the first 30 days.

Related: Can you earn rewards with a dining rewards program and a credit card at the same time?

Other partners

Atmos Rewards partners with several other companies to award points on your everyday purchases, as well as certain other activities like filling out surveys. These include:

  • 1-800-flowers.com
  • Teleflora
  • The Opinion Terminal
  • Carrs-Safeway
  • E-Rewards
  • Diners Club International
  • Greenlight
  • GCI
  • Harry & David
  • Laithwaites
  • Rate

Even better, many of these are eligible for status points. Learn more about earning points at Alaska’s “Everyday partners” page.

Buy Alaska miles

If you need more Atmos Rewards points, the program lets you buy them — for an eye-popping 3.5 cents each. Considering we only value Atmos Rewards points at 1.5 cents apiece per our September 2025 estimates, that’s not a great deal.

However, if you just need a handful of points to reach your next redemption, purchasing them could make sense — especially if you can take advantage of a promotion on buying points.

Bottom line

There are many ways to earn Atmos Rewards points (and elite status) aside from flying. You can also earn points with other travel, credit card spending, shopping, dining and more. This means you don’t have to be a devoted Alaska Airlines flyer or high spender to earn enough points for an excellent redemption, like flying business class to Japan.

One of the highlights of the Atmos Rewards program is the ability to choose how you earn points on flights, starting in 2026. So, consider your travel plans and choose the points-earning path that makes the most sense.

Current Atmos Rewards offers for Alaska and Hawaiian flights http://livelaughlovedo.com/current-atmos-rewards-offers-for-alaska-and-hawaiian-flights/ http://livelaughlovedo.com/current-atmos-rewards-offers-for-alaska-and-hawaiian-flights/#respond Thu, 21 Aug 2025 14:41:15 +0000 http://livelaughlovedo.com/2025/08/21/current-atmos-rewards-offers-for-alaska-and-hawaiian-flights/ [ad_1]

Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines loyalists, meet your new loyalty program: Atmos Rewards.

The new Atmos Rewards program heralds a complete rebranding of Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan and includes a new premium card for frequent Alaska flyers: the Atmos™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® Credit Card.

As for the existing cards, the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature® (no longer available) is now the Atmos™ Rewards Ascent Visa Signature® Credit Card. The Alaska Airlines Visa® Business credit card (no longer available) is now the Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature® Business.

The information for the Alaska Airlines Visa Business card, the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature card and the Atmos Rewards Visa Signature Business has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

These cards include valuable welcome bonuses for cardholders to earn.

Since the Atmos Rewards program will replace Alaska Mileage Plan, the value of these bonuses is based on TPG’s August 2025 valuation of Alaska miles at 1.45 cents per mile.

With this in mind, let’s dive into the three Atmos Rewards cards and their current welcome offers.

Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite Credit Card

The new premium option for Alaska Airlines loyalists, the Atmos Rewards Summit, features a high-value welcome bonus, useful earning rates and a solid suite of benefits.

Welcome offer: Earn 100,000 bonus points and a 25,000-point Global Companion Award after spending $6,000 or more on purchases within the first 90 days from account opening.

Based on TPG’s August 2025 valuations, this bonus is worth up to $1,813 when you include the value of the 25,000-point Global Companion Award.

Annual fee: $395.

Earning rates:

  • Earn 3 points per dollar spent on eligible Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines purchases.
  • Earn 3 points per dollar spent on eligible dining and foreign transaction purchases.
  • Earn 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases.

Key benefits:

  • Eight Alaska Lounge passes each year (two per calendar quarter).
  • 10,000 status points every year upon account anniversary, plus 1 status point for every $2 spent on the card.
  • Earn a 10% rewards bonus on all points earned if you have an eligible Bank of America account.
  • Free checked bag on Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines for the cardholder and up to six guests on the same reservation (when you pay for your flight with your card).
  • No foreign transaction fees.
  • Priority boarding on Alaska Airlines for the cardholder and up to six guests on the same reservation (when you pay for your flight with your card). In the fall, priority boarding will also apply on Hawaiian Airlines flights.
  • Up to $120 in statement credits for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry every four years.

Why we like it: This welcome offer includes a new perk, the Global Companion Award, with points that can be redeemed for travel on Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines or a partner (including Oneworld members) for an award ticket in any class. The 25,000-point award is earned upon account opening and after each card anniversary.

Cardholders can earn a second 100,000-point Global Companion Award after spending $60,000 or more in a card anniversary year.

They’ll also receive a $50 voucher for Alaska Airlines flight cancellations within 24 hours or departure delays that exceed two hours, and pay no change fee for same-day changes to Alaska Airlines flight plans. This benefit will extend to Hawaiian Airlines-operated flights once both carriers are operating on the same reservation system, expected in 2026.

For frequent international travelers, earning 3 points per dollar on foreign transaction purchases is an industry first, and could lead to Atmos rewards racking up rather quickly.

All in all, this is a solid option for frequent flyers of either airline. Plus, this card offers the exclusive ability to transfer its points to hotel partners. This isn’t a feature on the other cards in the suite.

These partners (and transfer ratios) are:

  • IHG One Rewards (1:1) — available through early November initially; returning on a recurring basis thereafter
  • Marriott Bonvoy (1:1)
  • Preferred Hotels I Preferred (1:2)
  • Shangri-La Circle (8:1)
  • Wyndham Rewards (1:1)

Atmos Rewards Ascent Visa Signature Credit Card

Semifrequent Alaska and Hawaiian flyers who aren’t looking to budget for a higher annual fee are the target audience for the Atmos Rewards Ascent, a mid-tier option with useful perks of its own.

Welcome offer: Earn 80,000 bonus points and a $99 Companion Fare (plus taxes and fees from $23) after spending $4,000 or more on purchases within the first 120 days from account opening.

TPG’s August 2025 valuations deem this offer to be worth $1,160 in points plus the value of the Companion Fare.

  • Priority boarding on Alaska Airlines for the cardholder and up to six guests on the same reservation (when you pay for your flight with your card).

Why we like it: The Atmos Rewards Ascent is a rebranding of the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature (no longer available), so the earning structure and primary benefits remain the same.

It’s an excellent choice for anyone who flies Alaska or Hawaiian at least a couple of times each year and could find value in the card’s perks, including the ability to spend toward a Companion Fare benefit each year, a free checked bag and elevated earning rates in popular bonus categories.

Atmos Rewards Visa Signature Business Card

Small-business owners who fly Alaska Airlines, this one’s for you. The Atmos Rewards Business Card provides multiple perks when you fly with Alaska or Hawaiian, good rewards-earning opportunities and a solid welcome offer for a reasonable annual fee.

Welcome offer: Earn 80,000 bonus points and a $99 Companion Fare (plus taxes and fees from $23) after spending $5,000 or more on purchases within the first 90 days from account opening.

This bonus is worth $1,160 in points, per TPG’s August 2025 valuations, plus the value of the Companion Fare.

Annual fee: $70 for the company and $25 per card.

THE POINTS GUY

Earning rates:

  • Earn 3 points per dollar spent on eligible Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines purchases.
  • Earn 2 points per dollar spent on gas, EV charging stations, shipping and local transit (including ride-hailing services).
  • Earn 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases.

Key benefits:

  • $100 off an annual Alaska Lounge+ membership purchased with your card.
  • Ability to earn an annual Companion Fare after spending $6,000 on purchases within the prior card anniversary year.
  • Earn a 10% rewards bonus on all points earned if you have an eligible Bank of America business account.
  • Free checked bag on Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines for the cardholder and up to six guests on the same reservation (when you pay for your flight with your card).
  • No foreign transaction fees.
  • Priority boarding on Alaska Airlines.

Why we like it: The Atmos Rewards Visa Signature Business is a rebranded version of the Alaska Airlines Visa Business (no longer available), and remains a great option for business owners who would benefit from the perks related to flying on Alaska.

The Lounge+ membership included on the Atmos Business card is notably not included on the personal Atmos cards, so if you value lounge access, that’s something worth considering.

Plus, with a long list of bonus categories and the opportunity to earn an annual Companion Fare, this is a strong option for a relatively low annual fee.

Bottom line

Alaska loyalists have a new loyalty program to dive into, as Atmos Rewards has burst onto the scene with a rebranded suite of cards, a new premium card and elevated offers to accompany them.

If you’re ready to maximize this new program and collect Atmos Rewards points, collecting one of these offers is a fantastic way to start.
