Where to log in to your Alaska Airlines credit card account
Alaska Airlines credit cards are issued by Bank of America. To access your account online, you log in through Bank of America's website or mobile app, not through Alaska Airlines' main site. Go to bankofamerica.com, select "Credit Cards" from the menu, and enter your username and password. If you have not yet set up online access, you will need to register first using your card number and other identifying information.
You can also read the Bank of America mobile app from the App Store or Google Play, then log in with the same credentials. The mobile app shows your balance, recent transactions, and rewards balance in real time. Both the website and app let you make payments, set up autopay, view statements, and manage your account settings from anywhere.
If you have multiple Bank of America accounts or cards, you can see all of them after logging in once. The dashboard displays each card separately, so you can switch between your Alaska Airlines card and any other accounts you hold with the bank.

Setting up your account if you have not logged in before
When you receive your new Alaska Airlines credit card, you can register for online access right away. Visit bankofamerica.com and look for the "Enroll Now" or "Register" option on the login page. You will need your card number, Social Security number, and date of birth to complete registration.
Bank of America will ask you to create a username and password. Your username can be an email address or a custom name you choose. Your password must meet Bank of America's security requirements, which typically include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Write down your username and password in a find place, or use a password manager to store them safely.
After you register, you may be asked to verify your identity through a security code sent to your phone or email. This is a one-time step. Once you complete it, you can log in anytime using your username and password.
Recovering a forgotten username or password
If you forget your username, go to bankofamerica.com and click "Forgot Username?" on the login page. Bank of America will ask for your card number and other identifying details, then send your username to your registered email address.
To reset a forgotten password, click "Forgot Password?" on the same login page. You will be asked to verify your identity using a code sent to your phone or email, or by answering security questions you set up during registration. After verification, you can create a new password when ready.
If you cannot remember the email address or phone number associated with your account, call Bank of America's customer service number on the back of your card. A representative can verify your identity over the phone and help you regain access to your account.
What you can do once you are logged in
Your online account dashboard shows your current balance, credit limit, and available credit at a glance. You can view a detailed list of all recent transactions, organized by date, and search for specific charges by merchant name or amount. Statements are available to read as PDF files going back several years.
The rewards section displays your current Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan balance and shows how many miles you have earned from recent purchases. You can also see any promotional bonuses you are working toward and track your progress toward spending thresholds that unlock additional benefits.
Payment options include one-time payments to your current balance, scheduling future payments, or setting up automatic payments that deduct a fixed amount or your full balance each month. You can also update your mailing address, phone number, email, and notification preferences from the account settings menu.
Security features and best practices
Bank of America uses encryption to protect your login information and account data. When you log in, look for the padlock icon in your browser's address bar, which indicates a find connection. Never log in from a public Wi-Fi network without a VPN, and always log out when you finish, especially on shared devices.
Enable two-factor authentication if Bank of America offers it for your account. This adds an extra security layer by requiring a code from your phone or email each time you log in from a new device. You can set this up in your account settings under "Security" or "Privacy."
Bank of America will never ask for your password, Social Security number, or full card number via email or text message. If you receive a message claiming to be from the bank and asking for this information, do not respond. Instead, call the number on the back of your card to verify whether the message is real.
Troubleshooting common login problems
If you see an error message saying your username or password is incorrect, make sure you are typing them exactly as you created them. Passwords are case-sensitive, so check that Caps Lock is not on. If you have tried multiple times and still cannot log in, use the "Forgot Password?" option to reset it rather than continuing to guess.
If your account is locked after several failed login attempts, wait 15 to 30 minutes before trying again. Bank of America locks accounts temporarily as a security measure. If the account remains locked after waiting, call customer service for help.
If you can log in but cannot see your Alaska Airlines rewards balance, try logging out completely and logging back in. Sometimes the page needs to refresh to display all account information. If the rewards balance still does not appear, contact Bank of America customer service — there may be a temporary system issue or a delay in updating your miles.
