Alaska Miles FLASH SALE – Should You Take Advantage?

Some links to products and partners on this website will earn an affiliate commission.

Alaska Mileage Plan is back with another Flash Sale – this time offering 30% off purchases of 10,000+ miles.

Soak up a 30% discount.

That summer escape you’ve been dreaming of? It could be yours in a flash. Right now, you’ll land a 30% discount when you buy miles. Don’t wait—offer ends June 30.

Good deal?

If you max out the promo and buy 60,000 miles, you’ll pay ~£980 ($1,241.63):

That works out at about 1.633p per mile. The cheapest that I can remember Alaska Miles being on sale for is ~1.58p per mile, so this is slightly more expensive.

I wouldn’t be tempted to buy speculatively at these prices, but if you have a high-value use for Alaska Miles in mind (there are lots), it could make sense to take advantage – just make sure the award space you want is available first!

Conclusion

If you are in the market for Alaska Miles, this is almost as good a price as they are ever sold for directly, so you might want to have a think about buying this week while the Flash Sale is on. Unless you have an immediate use in mind though, I wouldn’t be in too much of a rush – I’m sure we’ll see similar sales again soon.
