Just the other day I noticed that BAnk of America’s Alaska Airlines Visa product was advertising on the site. I haven’t spoken with them, and I didn’t know it was coming, but all I can say is, “cool!”

I’m a fan of the Alaska Airlines program, their recent changes notwithstanding (just use the miles for international premium class awards on partners, the partner fee is worth it, and their miles are especially flexible given their partnerships across both oneworld and Skyteam carriers…).

And the Bank of America Visa comes with a true gem in the form of its $50 companion ticket, my personal favorite tool for traveling domestic first class cross-country (and to Hawaii even) with my wife.

I have no idea if any of that Bank of America cash apparently being spread around the internet will ever find its way into my pocket but I’m perfectly pleased to see them here nonetheless!
