Good morning everyone, I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. While updating my Buy Miles & Points Page, I discovered 2 offers that expire this week and several others that end in December (a complete list can be found at the bottom of this post). Remember to crunch the numbers to ensure purchasing miles and points is beneficial for your needs. It’s best to avoid buying miles and points speculatively unless you have a specific purpose in mind. With that in mind, here are 2 offers that are ending soon.

Up first, Alaska Airlines is offering up to a 60% bonus, depending on the number of Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Miles you purchase. This offer expires on December 23.

Here are the complete terms & conditions of the Alaska Airlines promo:
