40,000 Mile Alaska Airlines Signature Visa Card

This is a lukewarm deal. Hmm, I can’t decide if I like or not.

On a positive note, the partners for Alaska are great and the $99 companion ticket is a very big plus.

Negatives include:
It’s not a ton of miles, annual fee is not waived for year one, and it’s Bank of America (who decides whether you qualify for a Signature card or not).

The link works until July 30th, so I think I’ll skip this one for now.

And with that wishy-washy introduction…

**Edit: Upon closer inspection, it looks like you receive an annual $99 companion ticket. Bringing along a significant other for under a hundred bucks every year makes this a much better deal.**
