Our Verdict
If you purchase 40,000+ miles and get the 60% bonus then this reduces the cost to 1.72¢ per point. These are sold through Points.com, if you go through a portal such as Topcashback then you’ll get an additional 2.5% back.
1.72 cents per point? Too rich for my blood.
Even at 100% bonus I would probably not buy.
The TCB portal link gives an error when you click – says “HTTP Status 404”
Is this the highest it’s ever been??
It’s been 60% off on many occasions.
That’s not true. This is the highest ever. They had a targeted 60% bonus a few months ago but most did not receive. This is the highest publicly available bonus ever run for miles purchases from Alaska.
Isn’t this targeted as well though?
@Steven
Yes it is.
@Dave “That’s not true. This is the highest ever. They had a targeted 60% bonus a few months ago… This is the highest publicly available…”
1. You are contradicting yourself.
2. This is targeted as well.
3. What I posted previously is still correct.
