Cardholders will benefit from enhanced value across the full suite of Atmos Rewards credit cards over time.
Alaska Air Group will move toward a single issuer for its Atmos\u2122<\/span> Rewards credit cards.
The extended partnership is expected to drive incremental value for both companies.
Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE: ALK) and Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) today announced a multi-year extension of their co-branded credit card agreement \u2013 a continuation of the bank\u2019s largest co-brand partnership. For more than 30 years, the strategic partnership has put an industry leading co-branded credit card in the wallet of millions of travelers and helped build various features of the airline\u2019s brand, including the famous Companion Fare.
Bank of America has been a foundational partner to Alaska\u2019s growth over the last few decades. Together, they have helped us build the airline industry\u2019s most generous and valuable loyalty program. Extending this partnership will mean even greater benefits for cardholders, taking them further as Alaska and Hawaiian expand across the globe.\u201d

The renewed agreement will deepen integration between Alaska and Bank of America by:
Alaska Air Group has been an exceptional partner for more than three decades, and this extension reflects our shared commitment to delivering meaningful value for cardholders. Together, we\u2019re investing in innovation, enhancing the cardholder experience, and supporting the continued growth of the Atmos Rewards platform \u2014 while creating long term value for both companies.\u201d
Co-president<\/span>,<\/span> Bank of America<\/span>
Alaska and Bank of America are working toward BofA becoming the single issuer of all co-brand credit cards for the Atmos\u2122 Rewards program, which has been recognized as the best Airline Rewards Program for 2026 by NerdWallet.
Remuneration from the co-brand card portfolio grew 10% in 2025, fueled by the launch of the Atmos Rewards loyalty program and the new premium Summit Visa Infinite\u00ae<\/sup> card. The Summit card continues to exceed acquisition and spend expectations, achieving significant average spend levels, driven by a compelling value proposition that includes exclusive lounge access and a unique Global Companion Award. This appeal has attracted new premium, high-spending customers and earned industry recognition, including being named The Points Guy\u2019s best new personal credit card earlier this year.
The expansion of the card portfolio is expected to accelerate the growth of Alaska\u2019s loyalty platform beyond the incremental $150 million in profit outlined in the Alaska Accelerate strategy. The extension with Bank of America reinforces this momentum, strengthening the partnership and supporting sustained long-term value creation through the loyalty ecosystem.
The Atmos Rewards co-brand credit cards, powered by Bank of America, continue to provide cardholders industry-leading benefits including:<\/span>
The renewed agreement delivers expanded benefits, including increased investment in lounge programs, product enhancements and the potential for new card offerings. This ensures even greater value, more rewards and improved experiences for all Atmos Rewards members.<\/span>
This initiative aims to streamline operations and further integrate the co-brand credit card experience across the entire Atmos Rewards portfolio, including Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines. It is designed to lead to more consistent, simplified, and enhanced services and offerings for cardholders.<\/span>
We are actively working to introduce enhanced benefits in the future and new product features as they become available. Cardholders will be informed of specific updates through our standard customer communications process at the appropriate time.<\/span>
