If you’re looking to earn Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles, your best bet outside of using Alaska's own co-branded credit cards is to utilize one of their transfer partners. Alaska Airlines does not have a major U.S. credit card reward partner but you can instead transfer points from their hotel partners, such as Marriott, right into your MileagePlan account to get a decent number of miles.
Here are the 10 best Alaska Airlines credit card offers currently available. This table is updated automatically whenever our partner offers change, so you will always find the most up-to-date bonuses listed.

Out of all of Alaska's available transfer partners, Marriott Bonvoy is the best program for transferring points to your MileagePlan account.
Marriott Points To Alaska Miles
Marriott Bonvoy Points can be transferred to Alaska at a 3:1 ratio meaning that every 3,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points you transfer to Alaska will give you 1,000 Alaska Miles.
On top of that, you'll also earn a 5,000-mile bonus for every 60,000-block of Marriott Bonvoy points you transfer. This means transferring 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points would give you a total of 25,000 Alaska Miles which is not bad considering Alaska Miles can be very valuable.
