Mileage Plan™ terms and conditions

No rights of any kind accrue in the Mileage Plan program except as specifically defined herein. There are no exceptions to these conditions of membership except for those set out in this document. Alaska Airlines reserves the right to interpret and apply these conditions of membership in its sole discretion. Alaska Airlines' Mileage Plan program may be modified by Alaska Airlines at any time, or terminated with 180 days' notice.

Membership

Individuals may join the Mileage Plan program online, by calling customer care, through our reservations call center, or other channels as may be designated by Alaska Airlines. Corporations and other entities are not eligible to become Mileage Plan members but may enroll in EasyBiz. There are no group or family memberships; each individual must enroll separately.

Enrollment in the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan program requires each individual to provide his/her name, address, phone contact, and birth date. The enrollment process must be completed by the prospective member himself/herself, unless the prospective member is a minor, in which case the parent or legal guardian may complete the enrollment process. Travel agents, travel arrangers, and unauthorized brokers may not create or manage Mileage Plan accounts for others. Members will be asked to verify all of this information before speaking with Alaska Airlines employees about their accounts. If Alaska Airlines becomes aware that a member or a third party has misrepresented his/her identity in order to enroll in Mileage Plan or perform a Mileage Plan transaction, Alaska Airlines may, in its sole discretion, void the transaction.

Earning Mileage Plan miles

Earning Mileage Plan miles
Mileage Plan miles can be accrued by:

Flying on Alaska Airlines designated flights
Using an eligible credit card for qualifying purchases
Using the services of a Mileage Plan partner (including our programs to buy, share, or gift miles)
Promotional bonus miles awarded by Alaska Airlines or one of its Mileage Plan partners
Alaska Airlines reserves the right to amend or delete any or all of the means currently recognized for accruing miles and to exclude specific types of transactions or tickets from the accumulation of mileage.

Miles will accrue only in the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan account of the member who actually travels or purchases goods or services and whose name appears on the passenger flight coupon, hotel receipt, car rental agreement or goods or services invoice related to such travel or purchase.

Mileage Plan miles cannot be combined, accrued or transferred from multiple accounts (including those of family members) or other sources into a single Mileage Plan account, except as permitted by the Mileage Plan Transfer miles program through Points.com and in the case of Alaska Airlines Bank of America cardholders with a secondary card, whose mileage credits will accrue to the primary cardholder's account.

On qualifying flights, Mileage Plan members will receive mileage credit based upon the nonstop mileage between the origin and destination cities indicated on the ticket. When travel involves a connecting flight with a change of flight numbers, members will receive mileage credit for each flight segment. A flight segment is defined as travel on flights with the same flight number between an origin and final destination, regardless of intermediate stops. Members will earn the actual published mileage between the origin and the destination cities for each segment travelled (excluding intermediate stops on direct flights) or 500 miles, whichever is greater. Actual published mileage is based on longitude and latitude of airports. Actual mileage earned may vary depending on whether the routing designated on ticket purchased is nonstop, direct (with intermediate stops) or connecting (with a change of flight numbers).

The following types of tickets are not eligible for accrual of Mileage Plan miles:

Unused tickets
Mileage Plan award tickets, with the exception of AS50 Money and miles awards
Complimentary tickets
Non-revenue travel tickets
Reduced industry rate tickets
Charter tickets
Consolidator rate tickets
Value Travel Authorizations (VTA) tickets
Two-for-one companion tickets
Tickets on certain subcontract service flights
Tickets that do not display a fare (e.g., ADOO tickets; WD1B tickets, certain bulk or wholesale tickets, etc.)
Any ticket acquired or used in violation of these conditions of membership
Opaque bookings (tickets purchased through a third party site where the airline is unknown at the time of the booking).
Any discount ticket deemed ineligible by Alaska Airlines
In addition, Mileage Plan miles are not awarded for flights cancelled due to weather or maintenance issues.

Mileage accrued in other airlines' frequent flyer program accounts may not count toward Mileage Plan elite status qualification unless otherwise permitted by Alaska Airlines. When using Mileage Plan Elite status benefits, including First Class upgrades, mileage may not be accrued in any other airlines' frequent flier program. The member's Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan number must appear in the reservation such that mileage accrued for that flight will be credited to the member's Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan account, before Mileage Plan Elite status benefits (including First Class upgrades) may be used on that flight. Any changes made after such benefits are used may result in forfeiture of such benefits.

Alaska Airlines reserves the right to determine the eligibility of new fare types for mileage credit as they become available.

A member who is enrolled in more than one airline's frequent flyer program may not receive mileage credit in more than one frequent flyer program for the same activity. Members must identify the frequent flyer program in which he/she wishes to accrue miles for a particular itinerary at the time of initial booking. For example, if a member flies with one of Alaska Airlines' partner carriers, the member may elect to receive mileage credit in either the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan or in the other airline's plan, but must make such election and notify the operating carrier when the booking is made. Any changes made after initial booking may result in changes to eligibility and receipt of such benefits. Transferring mileage from one airline's frequent flyer program to another is not permitted, except as permitted by participation in Points.com swap program.

It is the responsibility of the member to retain passenger receipts, boarding passes, hotel receipts, car rental agreements, etc. until mileage credit appears on a membership statement or their “Account” page on www.alaskaair.com.

The member must notify Alaska Airlines customer care of any discrepancies in his or her account within one year of the activity date unless a shorter time period is identified by partner. The request and supporting documentation should be sent directly to the Mileage Plan program at one of the points of contact listed above. Requests must include the member's name, Mileage Plan account number and supporting documentation. For airline mileage credit, the member must send boarding passes and a copy of his or her ticket or electronic confirmation letter. For car rental mileage credit, members should include a copy of the rental receipt. For hotel stay mileage credit, members should include a copy of the hotel receipt/folio. For all other transactions for which mileage may be accrued, Alaska Airlines requires a copy of the sales invoice or other proof of payment. All documentation must be legible and include the full legal name of the traveler (initials are not acceptable) and the dollar value of the transaction. Some Mileage Plan partners may require the supporting documentation be sent directly to them to determine mileage eligibility.

Requests for retroactive Mileage Plan miles credit for travel may be made online or by calling Alaska Airlines customer care. The deadline for requesting retroactive Mileage Plan credit for Alaska Airlines flights is 12 months. See https://www.alaskaair.com/content/mileage-plan/how-to-earn-miles/request-credit for more information on retroactive credit with our partner airlines. Mileage cannot be credited for activity that occurred prior to enrollment in the Mileage Plan program.

Non-partner airlines

Mileage will not accrue on flights operated by non-partner airlines. (View list of airline partners.) If a member is rerouted on another carrier due to an Alaska Airlines or partner carrier flight cancellation for operational reasons that occurred on the day of travel, the member may earn mileage credit for the original itinerary by mailing or faxing the original passenger receipt and boarding pass, along with a brief explanation, to the Mileage Plan program at the address above. Mileage will not be credited if a voluntary flight change is made on another non-partner carrier due to a delay by Alaska Airlines or an airline partner.

Bonus Miles

Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan program may offer members limited-time opportunities to accrue bonus miles into their Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan program account.

Class-of-service bonus miles, if any, will be credited according to the fare paid, not the cabin flown (i.e., members do not earn bonus miles when using complimentary First Class Upgrades or mileage award upgrades). Awards of bonus miles' will be subject to the terms and conditions accompanying the particular bonus miles promotions.

Redeeming Mileage Plan miles Redeeming miles for flights

Award travel space is limited and subject to certain restrictions including blackout dates and other capacity controls. Alaska Airlines cannot ensure availability of award seats on any flight, route, or date.

Mileage Plan awards may include one of the following: a one-way, round-trip or open jaw itinerary. One enroute stopover at an eligible city may be allowed for each one-way award on eligible international itineraries. An exception allowing an otherwise-illegal open jaw trip is permitted when travel is between the State of Alaska and the lower 48 states and a stopover occurs in Southeast Alaska. When award travel is redeemed solely on Alaska Airlines, one enroute stopover is allowed for each one-way award. One enroute stopover is allowed on a one-way award.

Alaska Airlines reserves the right to establish redemption rules and to set the number of miles required to obtain Mileage Plan benefits, including award travel and upgrades, which are subject to change at Alaska Airlines' sole discretion without notice. Any such changes shall apply regardless of award levels and rules in effect at the time miles were accrued. The number of miles required to redeem an award shall be that number of miles set by Alaska Airlines when miles are redeemed for the award, not when mileage is accrued. Notifications or changes concerning the procedures for redeeming mileage, accruing mileage, mileage award levels, and membership rules will be published by Alaska Airlines and will be available at www.alaskaair.com. Members will be deemed to accept these conditions of membership, in their then-current form, each time they redeem miles for an award, regardless of the award levels and rules in effect at the time the miles were accrued.

Mileage is deducted at the time an award reservation is made and an electronic award ticket issued. Any applicable taxes, fees or costs will be collected at time of ticketing.

Alaska Airlines reserves the right to charge administrative, membership or other fees associated with the Mileage Plan program, including mileage redemption fees for redemptions performed through the award reservations page on Alaska Airlines’ website or through our Reservations offices.

A member will not be permitted to redeem Mileage Plan miles for an award unless he or she has the full mileage balance required for the award in his or her Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan account. Ticketing will be completed at the time of booking. Award travel must be ticketed either via the award reservations page on Alaska Airlines' website, or through Alaska Airlines Reservations. Once issued, all Mileage Plan awards and award tickets are the responsibility of the member.

Award tickets have no cash value. No service fees apply to replace, extend, or exchange award tickets, and to redeposit miles into the members account.

Travel on award tickets will be subject to the tariff, contract of carriage, ticket terms and travel re-accommodation policies of the operating carrier. Passengers whose itineraries are interrupted due to irregular operations while traveling on a Mileage Plan award ticket will be rerouted by the operating carrier.

If a change is made to an award reservation which requires an additional amount of miles, those miles must be taken from the same account from which the original award was redeemed. No show policy is applied in accordance with normal rules.

Same day confirmed changes and standby travel are permitted in accordance with normal rules.

Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles, award tickets, upgrade certificates, and companion certificates may not be sold, purchased or bartered except as permitted on Points.com. Travel agents, travel arrangers and unauthorized brokers are not permitted to issue Mileage Plan tickets or to process or facilitate any other Mileage Plan transactions (including Mileage Plan account creation, account inquiries, and mileage or award ticket transfers) on behalf of others. If Alaska Airlines becomes aware that a member or a third party has misrepresented his/her identity in order to perform a Mileage Plan transaction, Alaska Airlines may, in its sole discretion, void the transaction. miles or award tickets issued, transferred or obtained in violation of these conditions of membership are voidable, in Alaska Airlines’ sole discretion. The member and/or the traveler shall be liable for the full, unrestricted value of awards issued as a result of improper or fraudulent transfers or otherwise in violation of these conditions of membership. Alaska Airlines shall not be responsible for any inconvenience, damage or loss incurred by the member or the traveler if travel is interrupted or an award ticket is invalidated due to violation of these conditions of membership. Alaska Airlines reserves the right to deactivate the Mileage Plan account and/or remove the miles from the account of any member who violates these terms until liability is fulfilled, and all other rights under applicable law to enforce these conditions of membership.

Mileage Plan members are responsible for all taxes, fees and surcharges applicable to award travel. Additionally, benefits received under the Mileage Plan may be subject to taxes. Any such tax is the sole responsibility of the Mileage Plan member.

Travel to and from international destinations is subject to foreign government approvals, restrictions and passport/visa requirements. International documentation requirements, departure taxes and airport user fees, if any, are the responsibility of the member and the member's traveling companions.

Infants traveling on certain partner carriers with award ticketed passengers to international destinations are subject to an additional fee at the point of departure. International tariff laws require all infants to be individually ticketed. It is the passenger's responsibility to contact the partner carrier to determine the fee for the infant's transportation, and to arrange ticketing for the infant.

The name associated with the award ticket in the reservation must match exactly the name on the passenger's government identification or passport.

Redeeming miles for hotel stays

Members can spend Mileage Plan miles for hotel stays via the Rocketmiles booking platform. Alaska Mileage Plan members are required to login to their Alaska Mileage Plan account in order to spend Mileage Plan miles on eligible hotel stays. The rates quoted for each booking are dynamic and subject to change.

Alaska Airlines may terminate the Mileage Plan program 180 days after publishing notice of program termination on www.alaskaair.com.

Any and all changes in the conditions of membership, including rules regarding the number of miles needed for a Mileage Plan award, are retroactive and apply to all previously accumulated mileage.

The accumulation of mileage in a member's account does not entitle the member to any vested rights with respect to any specific awards or specific Mileage Plan benefits.

Alaska Airlines may, among other things:

Change Mileage Plan benefits, participant affiliations, or cities served

Partners may, at their discretion and without notice, change the amount of mileage required for their awards, the amount of miles credited for an activity, or impose other restrictions upon the use of awards on their flights. Mileage accrued through utilization of a partner’s products or services are subject to such partner’s eligibility guidelines. Permissible routings and destinations for award travel on airline partners vary by airline partner.

Travel agents, travel arrangers and unauthorized brokers are not permitted to perform mileage transfers or to process or facilitate any other Mileage Plan transactions (including Mileage Plan account creation, account inquiries, and award ticket transfers) on behalf of others.

However, awards or accrued Miles do provide the member with an option to exchange such Miles for travel at the redemption level in effect at the time of redemption (not at the time of accrual).

Alaska Airlines reserves the right to audit Mileage Plan accounts at any time and without notice to the member to ensure compliance with these Mileage Plan Conditions of Membership and applicable conditions of carriage and/or tariffs.
