Login to your Alaska account via the link above to see what bonus you can get when purchasing miles.

• On my account the offer is:
  • Buy 10,000 – 19,000 miles, get a 20% bonus
  • Buy 20,000 – 39,000 miles, get a 35% bonus

If you have that same offer, the price for 90K miles will be $1,773.75, or 1.97 cents per mile.

There is no limit on how many Alaska miles you can buy, though there is a limit per transaction.

Alaska miles don’t expire as long as you have account activity every 24 months.

Alaska has very valuable award chart that varies by region and partner airline.

Best of all Alaska allows a free stopover, even on a one-way award. Just use the multi-city search option to build your own free stopover. 

That means you can fly business class from Los Angeles to JFK, “stopover” in JFK for as long as you want, and then fly onto another destination for one low price. For example this flight stops over in JFK for several weeks before flying in business class from JFK to Paris for 57.5K miles. If you’re targeted for a 50% bonus that means a one-way business class ticket would cost $1,132.75:

Cathay Pacific is famous for their wonderful first class where they offer the best bed comfort, seat comfort, and pajamas in the industry. It doesn’t offer walled-in suites or the hands-on service of Singapore and it doesn’t have onboard showers like Emirates or Etihad, but I don’t think any first class can compete with Cathay’s ultra-comfy seat and bed arrangement.

Before you speculatively buy miles with no need to book though, keep in mind that Alaska devalued their Emirates award chart with no advance notice.
