Other Ways To Earn
Alaska Airlines is not a direct transfer partner of any major U.S. credit card rewards program which makes it challenging to earn Alaska miles outside of using Alaska's own co-branded credit cards. Alaska's transfer partners consist of hotel rewards programs which will not earn you lots of miles, but can be useful if you need to top off your account.
Here are all of the programs that allow you to transfer rewards to your Alaska Mileage Plan account:
