Update: Some people have reported receiving the same offer but it only required $250 in spend.
The Offer
No direct link, reservation code is required via Bank of America Easy Rewards
- Activate your bonus offer by December 31st, 2016 on your Bank of America Alaska Airlines credit card and spend $1,000 or more before December 31st, 2016 and receive a $50 flight discount towards any Alaska Airlines flight
The Fine Print
Our Verdict
Basically an extra 5% back in the form of an Alaska airlines discount, pretty good if you have paid flights with Alaska. Not great if you don’t, as you’ll be forced into having a revenue flight to get any value out of the discount. This offer came via regular mail.

note, superstores, discount stores and warehouse clubs are not included in this list. Merchants
are assigned a merchant category code (MCC) based upon the merchant’s primary line of
business. We do not determine which MCC a merchant chooses to classify itself. We group
similar MCCs into purchase categories to offer bonus rewards to you. Purchases processed
through merchants that do not process transactions under the eligible MCC and purchases
processed through third-party payment accounts (e.g. PayPal) will not qualify to receive bonus
rewards. We reserve the right to verify eligibility of all transactions. If your account is converted
to a different rewards program or to a card without a rewards program during the offer
timeframe, the offer is no longer valid. Allow up to 12 weeks from the end of the promotion for
the $50 flight discount code to appear in your Alaska Airlines Mileage PlanTM online account.
You must use ‘My Account’ to access the $50 flight discount code at alaskaair.com. The
discount code can only be used on Alaska Airlines flights and is not valid on partner airlines.
The $50 flight discount code will expire one year from the date issued to your Alaska Airlines
Mileage Plan online account. The value of this reward may constitute taxable income to you.
You may be issued an Internal Revenue Service Form 1099 (or other appropriate form) that
reflects the value of such reward. Please consult your tax advisor, as neither we, nor our
affiliates provide tax advice.
Cool. What’s the code?
I’m not sure whether there is a code. I got this target offer via email. As soon as I click on the ‘Activate’ button in that email and logged in into my BOA online account. I got this confirmation page.
Codes are unique and targeted if via EasyRewards.
