Up to a 50% Bonus when you buy Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles until August 30!

Alaska Airlines has brought back their best bonus for buying Mileage Plan miles! Right now you will get up to a 50% bonus when you buy 40,000 or more miles. The bonus offer depends on the member and the maximum bonus is 50%.

If you reveal the 50% you'll definitely want to consider buying the miles as you are buying Mileage Plan Miles under U.S. 2 cents a piece although as Canadians we also have to pay GST/HST on the amount since Points.com, who processes the transaction is a Canadian company.

Seeing that you can redeem miles for premium class flights on British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Hainan, Korean Air and more, there are lots of options for you to use these miles. Remember it only takes 70,000 Mileage Plan miles to fly Cathay Pacific First Class from North America to Asia and that flight alone will cost a lot more than US$1,478.13!

Here is one example of a redemption you could use this bonus offer on. Flying Japan Airlines business class from Vancouver to Tokyo:

Visit Japan in April for a week - 120,000 miles round trip for business class + $116.73 in fees/taxes. To purchase 120,000 miles would cost you around C$3,200, add in the fees and you are looking at $3,316. To pay cash for the same flights on Japan Airlines' website came in at C$6,488.

Remember Alaska has set in place a maximum amount of miles you can buy in a year if you don't hold MVP status.  Non-Elite members can only buy 150,000 miles per year now.  MVP, MVP Gold, and MVP Gold 75K member are not subjected to this limitation. Seeing that Alaska has never offered more than a 50% bonus this is definitely the time to buy if you were targeted to get that amount.
