At a time when members all too often find it difficult to instantly add miles to their accounts through conversions or purchases, it is refreshing to learn that it is now possible to purchase up to 10,000 Alaska Mileage Plan miles towards your next award certificate. The miles cost $25 per 1,000 miles and are added instantly to your Mileage Plan account upon purchase.

Members can purchase the miles either online at http://www2.alaskaair. com/Promo/Instantmiles.asp or by calling (800) 654-5669.
