Guru’s Wrap-up
This is a good bonus for the Alaska Airlines Card but we have seen even better in the past. The card now has some new 2x categories and extra benefits. But the free checked bag benefits now applies only to tickets paid with the Alaska Airlines credit card. SOme of these changes will go into effect for current cardholders in March.
