This offer is only valid on the consumer card and not the business<span style=\"color: #ffffff\">.<\/span>card. The Mileage Plan number of the primary Alaska Airlines Visa Signature consumer credit card holder must be in the reservation at the time of check-in. Flights marketed by Alaska Airlines and operated by Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air, SkyWest or PenAir qualify. So no codeshares with American, Delta, etc. Bags also must meet weight and size restrictions or else an additional fee may apply. Also you don&#8217;t need to actually pay with your flight with this Alaska Airlines card in order to get this perk. You just need to be a holder of the card.<\/p>\n<p>To lay it out visually, this flight would qualify because it is Alaska metal only<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/02\/Alaska-only-flight.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3866\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/files\/2015\/02\/Alaska-only-flight.png\" alt=\"Alaska only flight\" width=\"375\" height=\"49\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/02\/Alaska-only-flight.png 375w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/02\/Alaska-only-flight-300x39.png 300w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/02\/Alaska-only-flight-200x26.png 200w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/giddyforpoints\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/13\/files\/sites\/13\/2015\/02\/Alaska-only-flight-150x19.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This flight below wouldn&#8217;t qualify because it has an American Airlines leg.
