Why Did I Tell You to Wait?
Even if you go to the Alaska Airlines homepage, you see this offer.
But then I discovered, when I was testing the Alaska Airlines 20% Fare Sale I wrote up earlier, that a better offer awaits if you begin booking a flight. See below.
Which leads to this:
So get the card, yes – but grab that extra $100.
