How to Buy & Redeem Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards Points

Atmos Rewards is the combined loyalty program of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines – both Oneworld alliance members. It’s based on the old Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan program.

You can redeem Atmos Rewards points for valuable award flights on around 25 different airlines. These include all Oneworld partners, such as Qantas, as well as some niche carriers like Aer Lingus, Icelandair, Starlux and Condor.

Atmos award tickets can be excellent value, particularly on short-haul and premium cabin redemptions. And there are no fuel surcharges when booking award tickets with most partner airlines – you’ll just pay a USD20 partner award fee. (The partner award booking fee increased from USD12.50 on 1 July 2026.)

Although it’s not that easy to earn Atmos Rewards points in Australia, you can buy them directly from the airline. Alaska Airlines even offers regular promotional deals on buying points.

Buying Atmos Rewards points

You can buy Atmos Rewards points on the Alaska Airlines website.

The cost of points starts at USD37.63 per thousand, before any discounts or bonus points. This price includes the U.S. federal excise tax. There is a purchase limit of 100,000 points per transaction (excluding bonus points).

There is an annual purchase limit of 150,000 points per member (excluding bonus points). Atmos Rewards waives this limit for members with Silver, Gold, Platinum or Titanium status.

Promotions with bonus points and discounts

Every few months, Alaska Airlines typically runs promotions offering a discount or bonus when you buy Atmos Rewards points. One of the best offers we’ve seen recently was for up to 110% bonus points in September 2025.

However, these offers are targeted and can vary between accounts. Your offer may be for a different amount of bonus points than another Atmos Rewards member. It is also possible that, if the address listed on your account is outside of the USA, you might not be eligible for some offers. However, it is quite straightforward to change your address to a US address!

These offers also may not be available to new Mileage Plan members. So, if you’re not already a member, sign up now to avoid missing out on the next promotion!

Redeeming Atmos Rewards points

You can redeem Atmos Rewards points on around 25 airlines. This includes all of the Oneworld alliance members:

You can also use Atmos Rewards to book award flights on the following non-Oneworld partner airlines:

• Aer Lingus
• Air Tahiti Nui
• Condor
• Hainan Airlines
• Icelandair
• Korean Air
• Porter Airlines
• STARLUX Airlines

Unfortunately, Alaska Airlines no longer partners with Singapore Airlines or LATAM.

Award flight pricing

For travel on Alaska Airlines itself, Atmos Rewards uses dynamic award pricing.

Redemptions on partner airlines are priced according to the partner airline award charts that take into account the region and distance you’re flying. That said, Alaska does sometimes use dynamic pricing for awards on selected partners including Qatar Airways, Icelandair and Air Tahiti Nui.

For example, this is the partner airline award chart for travel to, from or within Australia in 2026:

The extensive list of partners and relatively low redemption costs make this a competitive program. Award flights are especially great value on routes under 1,500 miles including Sydney-Auckland and Brisbane-Queenstown.

There are no fuel or carrier surcharges, except when redeeming points for Hainan Airlines, Icelandair or British Airways flights.

How to book award flights with Atmos Rewards points

Most Atmos awards can be booked on the Alaska Airlines website.

If you can’t book online, you can call Alaska Airlines on +1 (800) 252 7522. The Alaska Airlines call centre is open from 5am to midnight, California time. (It is closed during the evening in Australia.)
