Atmos™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® credit card

Why I recommend it:

I'd look at the Atmos™ Rewards Summit Visa Infinite® credit card if you love using Atmos points for award flights and want to bring someone along. The 25,000 point Global Companion Award is for award travel, so you redeem your points and your guest travels with you on the same itinerary. It's also a strong pick if you travel abroad, since you earn 3 points per $1 spent on eligible foreign purchases. If you want a lower annual fee instead, the Atmos™ Rewards Ascent Visa Signature® credit card is the one to compare.

Benefits I love

• A 25,000 point Global Companion Award every year on your card anniversary. When you book an award flight with your Atmos points, you can use it to bring one companion on the same itinerary! The award takes up to 25,000 points off your companion's award ticket. If the ticket costs more, you pay the additional points. You still pay taxes and fees for the companion.

• Earn 3 points per $1 spent on eligible foreign purchases and no foreign transaction fees!

• A free first checked bag for you and up to six guests on the same reservation when you buy Alaska or Hawaiian airfare with the card. Preferred boarding is on eligible Alaska Airlines flights.

• 8 Alaska Lounge passes and 8 Wi-Fi passes every year (2 of each per calendar quarter).

• 10,000 status points on your account anniversary, plus 1 status point for every $2 spent.

• A statement credit of up to $120 every four years for TSA PreCheck® or Global Entry.

• A 10% rewards bonus on points from card purchases if you have an eligible Bank of America® account.

Why I love the Atmos program

I'm a big Atmos points fan, and I use them a lot! I've booked:

• Phoenix to Salt Lake City for 4,500 Atmos points one way, often at the last minute!

• Phoenix to Japan for 37,500 Atmos points one way plus taxes and fees

• Los Angeles (LAX) to Fiji (NAN) for 37,500 Atmos points one way plus taxes and fees

• Salt Lake City to Reykjavik for 27,500 Atmos points one way, plus taxes and fees.

Award prices change, so your trip may price differently, but I love how far Atmos points can stretch!

A new thing I'm excited about is Families on the Go, a free Atmos Rewards Community. When you join, you get 20% of your points back on award flights for kids 12 and under after you travel. (This is an Atmos program benefit, you don't need this card to join)
