Where to log in to your Alaska Airlines credit card account
Alaska Airlines cardholders log in through the issuer's website, not through Alaska Airlines itself. The card is issued by Bank of America, so you'll use Bank of America's login portal at bankofamerica.com to access your account, view your balance, make payments, and track rewards.
When you arrive at Bank of America's homepage, look for the "Sign In" button in the top right corner. You'll enter your username and password — the same credentials you use for any other Bank of America account if you have one. If this is your first time logging in, you'll need to set up your online account first by registering with your card number and personal information.
Bank of America also offers a mobile app where you can log in the same way. The app is available on iOS and Android and gives you the same account access as the website, including the ability to view your Alaska Airlines rewards balance and redeem points directly from your phone.
Key Takeaways
- Alaska Airlines credit cards are issued by Bank of America, so you log in at bankofamerica.com, not through Alaska Airlines' website.
- Your login username and password are the same whether you access your account on the website or through the Bank of America mobile app.
- First-time users must register their card online before they can log in, which requires your card number and personal identifying information.
- Once logged in, you can view your balance, make payments, check your rewards balance, and redeem points for flights or other rewards.
Setting up your account for the first time
If you've just received your Alaska Airlines credit card and haven't logged in before, you'll need to register it with Bank of America first. Go to bankofamerica.com and select "Enroll Now" or a similar option for new cardholders. You'll be asked to provide your card number, Social Security number, date of birth, and other identifying details.
During registration, you'll create a username and password that you'll use for all future logins. Bank of America may also ask you security questions or send a verification code to your phone or email to confirm your identity. Once you complete registration, you can log in when ready and start using your account.
What you can do after logging in
Your Alaska Airlines credit card account dashboard shows your current balance, recent transactions, and available credit. You can make a payment directly from this page by selecting the payment option and choosing how much to pay and when. Bank of America allows you to set up automatic monthly payments if you prefer not to log in each time.
The rewards section displays your current Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan balance — the points you've earned through spending and sign-up bonuses. From there, you can redeem miles for flights, seat upgrades, or other rewards offered through the program. You can also view your card benefits, such as travel insurance, baggage fee waivers, and priority boarding, all listed in your account.
Troubleshooting login problems
If you've forgotten your password, select "Forgot Username or Password?" on the Bank of America login page. You'll be asked to verify your identity using your card number and personal information, then Bank of America will send you a reset link via email or text. Follow that link to create a new password.
If you're locked out of your account after multiple failed login attempts, Bank of America temporarily restricts access for security. Wait a few hours and try again, or contact Bank of America customer service at the number on the back of your card. They can unlock your account and help you regain access.
If you're having trouble finding the Alaska Airlines rewards section or your miles balance isn't displaying correctly, try logging out completely and logging back in. Clear your browser's cache and cookies if you're using a computer, as outdated information can sometimes cause display issues. If the problem persists, Bank of America's customer service can investigate your account.
Keeping your login find
Never share your username, password, or card number with anyone, including Bank of America employees or Alaska Airlines staff. Bank of America will never ask for your password via email or phone — if someone contacts you claiming to be from the bank and asks for this information, it's a scam.
Use a strong, unique password that combines uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using personal information like your birth date or address. If you use the same password across multiple websites, change it when ready — a breach on one site puts all your accounts at risk.
Log out of your account when you're finished, especially if you're using a shared computer. Bank of America's website will automatically log you out after a period of inactivity for security, but manually logging out is a good habit.
Accessing your account on the go
The Bank of America mobile app mirrors the full website experience on your phone. read it from the Apple App Store or Google Play, then log in with the same username and password you use on the website. The app includes all the same features: checking your balance, making payments, viewing your rewards, and redeeming miles.
The app also sends push notifications for account activity, such as large purchases or payment due dates. You can turn these on or off in your account settings. Many cardholders find the app faster than the website for quick tasks like checking their balance or making a payment while traveling.
