Tips & Ideas
Although gift card purchases are listed as ineligible purchases, there should be a couple of exceptions. Purchases from Raise and GiftCards.com both earn miles through the Alaska Airlines shopping portal, so they should trigger these bonuses. This worked with a recent Upromise promotion and I’d expect it to work with this one too.
A couple of things to note if using Raise to trigger this bonus. First, you’d need to ensure the amount you actually spend is $150, rather than the value of the gift cards you buy being $150 seeing as they’ll be discounted. Second, the Alaska portal has a $10,000 lifetime limit for Raise purchases, so if you’ve already spent more than that on Raise in the past, you won’t earn anything. In case you weren’t aware, shopping portals have different lifetime limits for Raise, so check out this list to see which ones have higher and lower limits.
