It’s a fascinating time for loyalty at Alaska Air Group. We’ve recently seen Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines merge, though two separate brands will be maintained in the long run. We’ve also seen the airline group introduce a new loyalty program, known as Atmos Rewards (which replaces the former Mileage Plan program).
In this post, I’d like to take an in-depth look at elite status with the Atmos Rewards program, as there’s a lot that makes it special. In particular, I love how Atmos Rewards is the only major US frequent flyer program that still lets members earn points based on how far they fly rather than how much they spend.
Even if you’re not an Alaska or Hawaiian loyalist, there’s potentially lots of merit to engaging in Atmos Rewards, especially if you frequently redeem points, fly on oneworld partner airlines, spend on credit cards, etc.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
