I have personally not flown Alaskan Air before, but to give out incentives to join a miles program that I normally would join anyway is just a sweet win-win deal. If you have any plans on traveling soon, Alaskan Air has great deals for travel within the west coast. They have also been having a lot of sales to Hawaii lately.

Unfortunately the promotion doesn’t allow the discount code to be used for their under $100 flights, or else you could leverage this similarly to the JetBlue discount code that was out last week. But it can still save you some extra money on some decent travel. I’ll look into some of the possible flight combinations, and will post any I find particularly juicy.
