Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan is now known as Atmos Rewards. Mod will need to update the Thread Title:



Welcome to a world of more​



Atmos™ Rewards is the #1 airline loyalty program according to US News & World Report (’25-’26), offering more ways to earn and redeem across a global network — bringing together the best of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines under a single loyalty brand.

Mileage Plan™ is now Atmos Rewards, with HawaiianMiles joining later this fall.
 
What has so far gone under the radar is that they've largely moved to a revenue-based program. You still have the option to earn by distance/segments, but they're going to appeal to fewer people from next year due to the earn rate.

Just like many other programs, they primarily want you earning status through spend on co-branded credit cards and expensive revenue fares.

I read that you can chose: spend or segments or miles.

BUT you’re locked in to 1 of 3 methods for the year (changeable once a year thereafter).

Some of the Miles thresholds will increase next year but so have the benefits - mainly system wide upgrades across AS and HA.

Yes, that's correct, but there are now all sorts of disincentives for choosing segments or distance hidden in the T&Cs.

For example, you no longer get minimum miles or class of service bonuses if choosing distance.
