New Deals

For those who don’t know, I love Alaska Mileage Plan miles. There are so many great flights you can get with them. In fact, I used Alaska miles to fly first class on Emirates. The downside is that there’s only one credit card in Canada that earn Alaska miles. It’s the MBNA Alaska Airlines Mastercard. It’s always a good deal but normally it’s $75 (annual fee) for 25,000 points. However, if you apply through the link below, you’ll get a rebate of $60 CAD, making the card just $15! What a deal!

There’s no spending threshold. You get the 25,000 points right after approval plus $99 companion fares.
