When Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines merged, we knew they would have to merge the two loyalty programs.  The Atmos^™ Rewards Program is the new program that Alaska and Hawaiian will share. Alaska’s loyalty program has already transitioned to Atmos^™ Rewards, and Hawaiian’s will fully transition this fall.

The new premium card for this loyalty program has also been launched, the Atmos^™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite^® card. Confused about the new name? I was at first, but it now makes more sense to me. The name Atmos^™ is inspired by “atmosphere” and encapsulates an elevated brand that aims to take travelers to new heights. 

All information about the Atmos^™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite^® card has been collected independently by Travel Mom Squad. The Atmos^™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite^® card is not currently available through Travel Mom Squad.

If you were previously a member of the Alaska Mileage Plan^™, your number remains the same under the new program. Miles are now Atmos^™ points, though, and elite-qualifying miles are now status points.

 

Atmos^™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite^® Card

Here are the bullet points about the new credit card:

• Earn 100,000 bonus points and a Global 25,000-point (25K) Companion Award after spending $6,000 or more on purchases within the first 90 days of opening your account. Those who joined the waitlist can earn an extra 5,000 points by applying through an emailed link.
• $395 annual fee.

• Annual Global 25K Companion Award for a travel companion on the same itinerary, when booking travel using your Atmos™ Rewards points. Additionally, receive a Global 100K Companion Award every year you spend 60,000 or more on purchases in that anniversary year.
• Receive 8 Alaska Lounge passes and 8 wifi passes each year (2 of each per calendar quarter).
• Free checked bag for you and up to 6 guests traveling on the same reservation when you purchase Alaska or Hawaiian Airlines airfare with the card.
• Earn unlimited 3 points for every $1 spent on eligible Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, dining, and foreign transactions, and unlimited 1 point for every $1 spent on all other purchases. Plus, earn a 10% rewards bonus on all points earned from card purchases if you have an eligible Bank of America^® account.
• Get 10,000 status points every year on your account anniversary and earn 1 status point for every $2 spent on purchases.
• Up to $120 airport security credit every four years in connection with the TSA PreCheck^® or Global Entry trusted traveler programs.
• Receive a $50 voucher for Alaska Airlines flight cancellations or departure delays of 2+ hours.
• Pay no change fee when you need to make a same-day change to your Alaska Airlines flight plans (excluding saver fares; a savings of up to $50 per change).
• Flexibility with no blackout dates or redemption fees on Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines or partner airline flights when booking with points or a Global Companion Award.
• No foreign transaction fees.
• Points sharing with up to ten additional Atmos™ Rewards members.

 

Bottom Line

For those living on the West Coast, this card makes a lot of sense as Alaska has hubs from San Diego all the way up to Anchorage. And anyone who finds good redemption value in the Alaska Airlines loyalty program on partner flights (me!) will want to consider this card, too. I often use this program to book partner award flights to Europe, so I’ll be looking at getting this one. This new Alaska Airlines reward program and premium card are going to be good news for many people—what are your thoughts? Let us know if you are approved for this card!
