The Alaska Airlines Visa credit card is issued by Bank of America and offers several unique cardholder perks. Right now, there are two limited-time offers that are better than their standard new customer offers. Compare carefully, as each offer is different in minor ways. The first has better upfront perks overall, but the second has better ongoing perks, particularly regarding the companion fare. Make sure you apply through the correct page for the offer you prefer. Here are the highlights for each.
