How often do these come up?

Alaska has the only direct flight from Indy to Seattle.

Edit. Looks like 1x - 2x a year

Edit 2: 11/6/2020, 4/7/2021, 10/4/2021, 1/17/2022, 4/2/2022, 4/16/2022, 7/23/2023, 8/14/2023

It's possible this was offered on other dates that were not memorialized with a slickdeals post.

Quote from FabulousClover1087 :
I'm not sure but the terms are you need to pay for the ticket with your card to receive the benefit. You may be able to save the gift card to your wallet and pay part with the CC and the rest from your wallet. I've done this with my United CC which requires paying with the card for the free bag.

Who is eligible for the first checked bag free benefit?
Eligible Alaska Airlines Visa® primary consumer credit cardholders:
Eligible Alaska Airlines Visa® cardholders who have an open account at the time of travel and up to 6 guests traveling on the same reservation may check 1 bag free of charge on qualifying reservations. Airfare must be purchased with your card to qualify for this benefit. Reservations made with group booking codes or through the group desk are not eligible to receive the free checked bag.
I just wanted to add to what you've already stated about the first checked bag benefit.

https://news.alaskaair.com/alaska...%20checked

Expanded Privileges for Authorized Users: Authorized users added by primary cardholders will now receive additional savings and convenience when the Alaska Visa Signature® card is used to purchase a ticket.

Authorized users can continue to book their own travel with the card but will now also gain access to a free checked bag and priority boarding even when they're not traveling with the primary cardholder (previously, authorized users needed to travel with the cardholder on the same reservation to receive a free checked bag).

Edit: Adding an Authorized User might be a liability but comes free of charge 😂😂😂

How do you do that? It requires payment with Alaska CC. So does it let you pay with GC first, then the balance with CC? I guess that means the total must exceed $500...
The real problem here is trying to pay the full fare using the GC and a CC if the full fare is less than the value of the GC. You might need to call to make this work.

This is what I was looking for. I noticed that I can't specify how much to charge on the gift card when I tried to book. If I can just charge a dollar on the credit card, and the rest on the gift card, then I'm golden Applause

I can't even tell how my credit card benefit is applied for the 1st checked bag honestly, it's not showing up on check out at all, and I'm not seeing it anywhere in my profile. It is added as a method of payment tho

Thanks for suggesting about calling, somehow, after so many years of traveling and booking online, I literally forget that we can actaully call to place orders on flights LMAO

I was able to use it to pay for a part of my ticket and the rest went to BofA Alaska biz card. I also got a free bag. I didn't try to pay for the full amount using GCs
Were you able to specify how much of the price was paid by your gift card?

I want to buy an alaska ticket for $200 with checked bag benefit of my alaska credit card.

Can I use the gift card to buy a main cabin non-refundable ticket first e.g. $180, then cancel it to get the alaska flight credit for future use. Then use the $180 flight credit + additional $20 paid by my credit card to buy the ticket, in order to get the checked bag benefit. Does it work?

Which sucks, because I go to Slamology every year. I'm in Eugene, OR and have to fly through Seattle. 2024 I'm going first class via points so the Alaska lounge is open for $15, definitely doing that since it's a 3hr layover. There's no other direct to Indy close, I'd drive to PDX if they had one.

Yes that's the work around I was planning to do if flight price < wallet funds balance, this way you can charge some to alaska cc.

If I use $500 gift card to buy one ticket, can I use the remaining gc balance in another account (such as my wife's)?Or the $500 balance has to be added to the first account.

No, I had like $400 left over and the ticket (with companion) was like $700+, so I just used all of it.

They wouldn't grease the screw and the plane crashed and everyone died!!!!! Disgusting. 😡

And the face. Look at it. So smug and arrogant. Like he's proud of what he did. I can't. I just can't. Anyone who rides this airplane ought to be ashamed.

Sorry for my terrible English.
You're not wrong. It was a horrible accident 23 years ago and was the fault of management cutting corners.

As a pilot for Alaska, I can assure you safety systems are much different today and they don't fly that aircraft type any more.

My own family flies Alaska and I wouldn't put them on if I didn't have the utmost confidence in our safety.
