Alaska (AS) 阿拉斯加航空发布了新闻稿,展望了一下2027年计划做的一些事情。其中有几句很有趣:
In 2027, Alaska also plans to deepen its Bank of America relationship by enabling customers with eligible Bank of America card products to transfer points into Atmos Rewards. The new capability will give Bank of America cardholders another path into Atmos Rewards while creating an additional revenue opportunity for Alaska through the sale of points. Over time, Atmos Rewards also plans to add points-transfer opportunities with other select global financial institutions, creating incremental revenue while building the program’s global relevance.
这段话里提到他们计划2027年与BoA的合作加深,让 eligible BoA 把点数转给 Alaska (AS) 的 Atmos Rewards 里程。
现在Alaska的联名卡就已经是BoA发行的,这里说的转点应该是想让BoA自家卡的点数转给AS。BoA自家的卡包括:BoA Customized Cash Rewards, BoA Unlimited Cash Rewards, BoA Travel Rewards, BoA Premium Rewards, BoA Premium Elite Rewards。目前这些BoA自家卡的点数就是严格的返现,没有转点对象。如果2027年开始也有转点对象了,BoA的点数也会变得有意思起来。
BoA自家卡有一个特性是BofA Rewards项目,搬资产过去,刷卡返现率可以升高。例如$100k档位可以获得50%的返现加成,让本来所有消费1.5%返现的卡变成2.25%返现;如果你有$1M资产,那么可以获得75%的返现加成,让本来1.5%返现的卡变成2.625%返现。
这么高的不限类别返现率,如果还让转点给AS,如果转点比例是1:1的话,AS里程估计要被洪水冲垮。所以我们自己猜测,很可能转点比例不是1:1,或者AS里程在这样开放伙伴转点后要贬值。如果到时候这两件事都没发生,就赶紧 enjoy it while it lasts 吧!
