The Bank of America®-issued Alaska Airlines credit cards are increasing and altering their welcome offers. Starting July 1, 2026, new applicants of the Atmos™ Rewards Ascent Visa Signature® credit card and the Atmos™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® credit card are eligible for the following:
  • Atmos™ Rewards Ascent Visa Signature® credit card: Get 70,000 bonus points and a $99 Companion Fare (plus taxes and fees from $23) with this offer. To qualify, spend $2,500 or more on purchases within the first 90 days of opening your account. In addition to the companion fare, the card previously offered 50,000 bonus points for new holders.
  • Atmos™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® credit card: Get 80,000 bonus points and a 25,000-point Global Companion Award with this offer. To qualify, spend $4,000 or more on purchases within the first 90 days of opening your account. This is 20,000 fewer bonus points than new applicants could earn under the prior offer, which also included a 50% flight discount. However, the spending requirement for that older offer was much higher, at $6,500 in the same time frame
Both Atmos cards earn rewards on Alaska and Hawaiian airline purchases. However, their terms and other benefits differ.
