SEATTLE, May 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- With the busy
summer travel season around the corner, finding an affordable hotel
just got easier for members of the award-winning Alaska Mileage
Plan program. Starting today, members can use Alaska miles to book accommodations at more
than 400,000 hotel properties worldwide, thanks to an expanded
partnership with hotel booking site Rocketmiles.
"Redeeming miles for hotels was among the most requested
enhancements to Mileage Plan, and our members now have the ability
to redeem valuable Alaska miles
for both flights and hotels," said Ryan
Butz, Alaska Airlines' managing director of loyalty. "This
is particularly exciting for our Alaska Airlines credit
cardholders, who will have access to discounted award pricing
through Mileage Plan Hotels. Our Alaska Airlines Visa
Signature® cardholders not only earn Alaska miles on everyday purchases and save
with our companion fare offer and free checked bags, but now have
another way to use those miles. It's now the only credit card
Alaska flyers need."
With the launch of mileageplanhotels.com, Mileage Plan members
can choose to earn up to 10,000 Mileage Plan miles for every night
of their stay, use their miles, or a combination of cash and miles,
to book brand name hotels, boutique properties and resorts.
"This travel portal unlocks a new way for Mileage Plan members
to use their coveted miles," said Bart
Welch, Rocketmiles' chief revenue officer. "We look forward
to strengthening the relationship and maximizing the value of
Mileage Plan miles."
