Full Review
Alaska Airlines rebranded its credit card lineup in August 2025. The new "Atmos Rewards" cards take on the name of the airline's joint loyalty program with Hawaiian Airlines.
The airline's personal credit cards saw some big changes. That included the launch of the premium (i.e., expensive)
Atmos™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® credit card
. But the updates were more subdued for its business offering. There's a new name (it's no longer the Alaska Airlines Visa Business® card). You'll also get a slightly bigger welcome offer — though you'll have to spend more to earn it.
The card's reward rates remained the same. Then again, so did its relatively inexpensive annual fee. That means the newly minted
Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature® Business card
still offers a valuable set of perks for business flyers who frequent Alaskan Airlines or Hawaiian Airlines.Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature® Business card: The basics

Why you might want the Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature® Business card
If you're a regular Alaskan Airlines or Hawaiian Airlines traveler, or could be, the
Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature® Business card
has a lot to recommend it.Sign-up bonus
Depending on your itinerary, the miles earned from this card's bonus offer could cover the cost of a round-trip domestic flight:
Get 80,000 bonus points and a $99 Companion Fare (plus taxes and fees from $23) after you make $5,000 or more in purchases within the first 90 days of opening your account.
That's not even counting the Companion Fare portion of the bonus.Annual companion fare
Every year, you'll earn another Companion Fare starting at $122 ($99 plus taxes and fees, which start at $23) after spending $6,000 or more on purchases within the anniversary year. It’s valid for a one-way or round-trip coach seat on Alaska flights booked on alaskair.com. There are no blackout dates.
Comparatively low annual fee
Airline cards for small business commonly charge annual fees of $95 or more. With its annual fee of
$70 for the company and $25 per card
, the Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature® Business card
lines up with the bottom of that range. Free checked bags
The first checked bag is free for you and up to six companions traveling on the same reservation on Alaska Airlines or Hawaiian Airlines flights, including those operated by Horizon Air or SkyWest. That’s a savings of $70 per person on a round-trip flight. Keep in mind that you won’t get this benefit on a code-share flight operated by another airline.
Why you might want a different card
Fewer flight options for some cities
Although Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines fly to destinations across the United States (and the world), their focus in North America is the West Coast. If you don’t live in a city with a lot of route options, you won’t get much value out of the
Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature® Business card
. Consider an airline card for the airline you fly the most. Or, if you aren’t committed to any single airline, a general-purpose travel rewards card like the
Capital One Spark Miles for Business
will give you significantly more flexibility. You’ll earn 2 miles per $1 spent on all purchases, plus 5 miles per $1 on hotel and rental car bookings through Capital One’s travel portal. Miles are redeemable for any travel expense — including airfare, hotels, trains, rental cars, taxis, travel agents and more — at a rate of 1 cent per mile. The annual fee is
$0 intro for the first year, then $95
. You start with a good bonus offer, too: Earn a one-time bonus of 50,000 miles – equal to $500 in travel – once you spend $4,500 on purchases within the first 3 months from account opening.
Excellent credit is required
The
Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature® Business card
is intended for applicants with excellent credit, corresponding to a FICO score of 720 and up. The Capital One® Spark® Classic for Business
is an option for entrepreneurs with average credit of 630 to 689. While it doesn’t offer travel rewards, you’ll earn 1% cash back on all purchases.Should you get the Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature® Business card?
Because the benefits of the
Atmos™ Rewards Visa Signature® Business card
are so airline-specific, it’s a contender for a specific audience of Alaska and Hawaii frequent flyers. Anyone who needs more wiggle room out of their travel card should look elsewhere.Information for the Capital One® Spark® Classic for Business has been collected by NerdWallet and has not been reviewed by or provided by Capital One.
