Save $100 on a $500 Alaska Airlines flight with this targeted Amex Offer
Editor’s Note
This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information and offers.
Alaska Airlines frequent flyers, check your American Express account. Some TPG staffers are seeing a new targeted Amex Offer for Alaska Airlines flights.
This offer lets targeted cardmembers receive a $100 statement credit after spending $500 or more on Alaska flights. But note that you have to book through AmexTravel.com — the statement credit won’t trigger if you book directly, so make sure you’re getting the same price booking through Amex as you would with Alaska.
Our staffers have found this offer on The Platinum Card® from American Express and the American Express® Gold Card. However, you might also find it on other American Express cards.
Let’s take a closer look at the terms of the offer:
- Valid only on Alaska fares booked online at AmexTravel.com in U.S. dollars
- Enrollment is required before you purchase your flight
- Your flight must originate in the United States
- You must spend at least $500 to get the $100 statement credit
- You can make a single or multiple purchases to reach the $500 minimum
- You must complete your purchase by May 26, but the flight(s) can be for after that date
The terms of the offer exclude most of Alaska’s ancillary fees, so you can’t get the rebate when buying Alaska miles, gift cards, access to Alaska Lounges or reserving Alaska hotel rooms or rental cars.

And if you’ve got this offer on your Platinum Card, you’ll enjoy 5 Amex points per dollar (up to $500,000 per calendar year, then 1 point per dollar) on airfare purchases booked directly with the airline or through American Express Travel.
