The Atmos™ Rewards Ascent Visa Signature Card is the one of the new refreshed Alaska Airlines cards in the new combined Alaska–Hawaiian ecosystem. Formerly the Alaska Airlines Visa Signature Card, and still issued by Bank of America. Here are the current highlights:

• 85,000 Atmos points + $99 Companion Fare (must pay taxes & fees from $23) after $4,000 in purchases within the first 120 days of opening your account. This is a special improved inflight offer, and you can use promo code 108021 if needed.
• Annual $99 Companion Fare. Get a $99 Companion Fare (must pay taxes and fees from $23) each account anniversary after you spend $6,000 or more on purchases within the prior anniversary year. Valid on all Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines flights within North America booked on AlaskaAir.com.
• First checked bag free on Alaska & Hawaiian (primary + up to 6 guests on same reservation). Any cardholder who purchases Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines airfare with their card, and up to 6 additional guests traveling on the same reservation, may check their first bag free.
• Preferred boarding. Enjoy priority boarding on Alaska now (Hawaiian boarding benefits rolling out this fall).
• 20% back on all Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines inflight purchases. Eligible in-flight purchases include food, drinks, and Wi-Fi.

The Hawaiian Airlines World Elite MasterCard is still going to be around after the Hawaiian/Alaska merger, although as of 10/1 Hawaiian miles will be converted to Atmos points. This card offers special perks on Hawaiian Airlines, which will still run as a separately-named airline after the merger. Here are the highlights.

The best offer available on this card is often the one they announced in-flight. The application asked for a six-digit promo code, but if you don’t have one from a flight, reportedly it is your flight number. I just tried “001234” and it worked fine, and I’ve even used “000000” when the application page accepted it and got the bonus. A recent code from a flight that a reader sent in was 014929.

• 80,000 bonus miles. 80,000 bonus HawaiianMiles after spending $2,500 on purchases within the first 90 days.
• One-Time 50% Off Companion Discount for roundtrip coach travel between Hawaii and North America on Hawaiian Airlines.
• $100 annual companion ticket discount each year for roundtrip travel between Hawaii and North America on Hawaiian Airlines.
• Two free checked bags (primary cardholder only) on Hawaiian Airlines or Alaska Airlines flights booked directly with this card. Now includes sports equipment. Worth up to $140 roundtrip.
• 3X miles for every $1 spent on purchases made directly from Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines.
• 2X miles per $1 spent on gas, dining, and grocery store purchases, and 1X mile per $1 spent on every other purchase.
• No foreign transaction fees.
• $99 annual fee.

Bottom line. The Hawaiian Airlines World Elite MasterCard offers a unique set of perks for regular customers of Hawaiian Airlines, including free checked bags and companion ticket discounts.

Air Canada is offering Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders a free 5,000 Point Flight Reward Certificate, which reduces the costs of your award flight redemption by 5,000 points. You must be enrolled in Aeroplan, register on the site by 8/18, and they will send it to you within 14 days. The certificate expires a year after delivery into your account.

I don’t know if I’ll use it, but I registered as it lasts an entire year. (I’m assuming that Air Canada strike will be resolved soon enough.) Another potential valuable perk if you recently picked up the Chase Sapphire Reserve again as I did, along with all its other perks. I’m still working my way through them all, turning off my old subscriptions and starting them back up as paid by Chase. By the way, that 100k+$500 offer is supposed to “end soon”.

The fine print:

‡ To be eligible for this offer your Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card account must be open and not in default and your Aeroplan account must be in good standing at the time of registration and fulfillment. Only members who register between August 5th at 12:01:01 AM EST and 23:59:59 PM EST on August 18th are considered eligible for this offer. Register for the offer by entering your First Name, Last Name, Aeroplan Number, and the last 4 digits of your Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card and click “Register Now”. The offer is only available to the primary cardmember of the Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card account and only one 5,000-point flight reward certificate can be earned per Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card account. The First Name and Last Name of your Aeroplan account must match the First Name and Last Name of your Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card account. Flight reward certificates have no cash value and cannot be exchanged or refunded. For the purposes of this offer, the expiry date of the Flight reward certificate is 365 days after the day that the flight reward certificate is deposited into your Aeroplan account. The flight reward certificate can take up to 14 days to be deposited into your Aeroplan account from the time of registration. For the purposes of this offer, only one Flight Reward Certificate can be earned per Aeroplan account. Chase is not responsible for the provision of, or failure to provide, the stated offer.

Limited-time 80k offer with first year annual fee waiver. The JetBlue Plus Mastercard is a rewards credit card that earns TrueBlue points for purchases and includes special perks for JetBlue customers. Right now, there is an increased offer above the common prior 50k and 60k offer levels, which also includes a first-year annual fee waiver. This is a limited-time inflight offer, where you can enter a 5-digit promo code to credit the flight crew. I have read that the code is 6+Flight number (ex. Flight 214 is 60214), but it seems that any 5-digit code will work. I’ve used 00000 on a similar Barclaycard app and it worked fine. Here are the highlights:

• Up to 80,000 total TrueBlue points. 60,000 bonus points after spending $1,000 on purchases within the first 90 days and earn 20,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 within the first year.
• First checked bag is free for the primary cardmember and up to 3 companions when you use your JetBlue Plus Card on JetBlue-operated flights.
• 6X points on JetBlue purchases, 2 points per $1 at restaurants and grocery stores and 1 point per $1 on all other purchases.
• No blackout dates on JetBlue-operated flights & redeem for any seat, any time on JetBlue flights. Points required for an Award Flight will vary based on the published base fare at the time of booking.
• Annual $100 statement credit after you purchase a JetBlue Vacations package of $100 or more.
• Points awarded in your TrueBlue account don’t expire.
• Earn and share points together with Family Pooling.
• 50% savings on eligible inflight purchases including cocktails, food and movies.
• Points Payback option allows you to redeem points for a statement credit – up to $1,000 per year.
• Get 10% of your points back every time you redeem to use toward your next redemption.
• 5,000 TrueBlue bonus points annually after your account anniversary.
• $0 intro annual fee for the first year, after that, $99.

First checked bags on JetBlue usually cost at least $35 each-way, per person (technically $35 if prepaid or $45 if paid at the airport). The free checked bag perk applies to you and up to 3 travel companions on the same reservation when (1) the ticket is purchased with your JetBlue Plus card, (2) the primary cardmember’s TrueBlue member number must be entered at the time of booking. That works out great for a family traveling together. If you buy higher fare classes, a certain number of complimentary bags may already be included.

How does redeeming TrueBlue points work? TrueBlue works on a revenue-based system, where the points required depends on the current cash cost of the flight (with no blackout dates). If they sell it for cash, you can book it with points. This is different than traditional chart-based systems that charge a fixed point balance but imposes blackout dates and limited seat availability.

TrueBlue points are best redeemed for JetBlue flights. There are some other options like newspaper or magazine subscriptions, but I won’t cover them here.

TrueBlue points can be estimated at 1 points = 1.3 cents. Ex. 30,000 points would cover roughly $390 in JetBlue airfare. The exact value may vary, but 1.3 cents is a conservative average of what I found across Blue, Blue Plus, and Blue Flex fares. You can test it out yourself by pricing out the same flight on JetBlue.com using points or cash (you don’t need to sign-in or have an account). Here is an example of a randomly-chosen Blue flight from New York City (JFK) to Orlando (MCO). The roundtrip flight costs $250.20 cash total:

Or the exact same roundtrip flight costs 15,800 TrueBlue points + $11.20 in taxes/fees:

That means the 15,800 points offset $239 in cash, or a value of 1.51 cents per TrueBlue point. But again, 1.3 is a conservative average estimate.

This means 2X points back on restaurants and groceries can be estimated as 2.6% back in the form of TrueBlue airfare. The 3X points back on Jetlue-operated flights can be 3.9% back in the form of TrueBlue airfare. The 6X points back with the Plus card on JetBlue-operated flights can be 7.8% back in the form of TrueBlue airfare.

Upon the renewal of your $99 annual fee, you get another 5,000 TrueBlue points ($65 of airfare value at 1.3 cents/point). If you can take advantage of the free checked bag perk, there is definitely ongoing value for regular JetBlue fliers. I haven’t investigated the $100 off a JetBlue Vacations package, but it could be worth a look.

As a minimum baseline value, you can redeem up to 100,000 TrueBlue points per year at 1 cent a point for a flat statement credit. So 30,000 points = $300, and so on. You always get more value redeeming for a JetBlue flight, but I know some people may just want to cash out.

Bottom line. The JetBlue Plus card from Barclaycard offers several perks for regular JetBlue customers such as a free first checked bag for you and up to 3 companions. There is also a nice sign-up bonus for new applicants.
