How Much Are Mileage Plan miles Worth?
Alaska Airlines miles — now part of Atmos Rewards, the combined Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines loyalty program — can be redeemed for award flights on Alaska, its oneworld alliance partners, and a roster of other partner airlines, and the value you get varies widely by route, cabin, and booking date. The calculator below applies our current average estimate per mile so you can put a dollar figure on your balance.
Unlike bank points, airline miles have no meaningful fixed cash redemption, so their value comes almost entirely from award flights — and that value swings widely from one booking to the next. A short economy hop and a premium-cabin partner award can price very differently per mile, which is why published valuations from the major points sites disagree with each other. Our figure is an editorial midpoint across those published valuations, not a guarantee: treat it as a planning average, and know that patient award shoppers routinely beat it while last-minute economy redemptions often fall short of it.

Frequently asked questions
How much are Alaska miles worth?
Value varies widely by award: route, partner airline, and cabin all matter. The calculator above uses our current average estimate per mile.
Do Alaska miles expire?
No. Atmos Rewards points (formerly Mileage Plan miles) don't expire as long as your account stays open. Accounts with no activity for 24 months can be locked for security, but a call to customer service unlocks them with all points intact.
Can I use Alaska miles on other airlines?
Yes. Alaska is a oneworld member, and miles can be redeemed on oneworld and other partner airlines.
How do I earn Alaska miles with a credit card?
Through Alaska's co-branded credit cards, or by flying Alaska and its partners.
