Last month, I was juggling between my Alaska Airlines card and my general travel rewards card, trying to figure out which would give me better value. After carefully tracking my rewards on several trips, I discovered that strategically using different cards for different aspects of my Alaska Airlines bookings made a huge difference in the points I earned.
What really opened my eyes was learning to pair my Alaska Airlines card with other travel rewards cards based on specific purchase categories. For instance, I now use my general travel card for in-flight purchases and my Alaska card for actual ticket bookings to maximize the miles earned. The companion fare benefit has already saved me hundreds on flights to Seattle and Portland. This flexible approach to credit card usage has completely changed how I book my Alaska Airlines travel, and I'm earning points much faster than before.
