American Express has one of the common benefit across all credit cards which is called Amex Offers. These offers provide discount in the form of statement credit or membership rewards points for purchase at certain merchants. While some of these offers are targeted, most of them are available to all customers. The offers usually have rebate in the range of 10% to 25% depending on the merchant. American Express also provides "Amex Offers for travel". Below are some of the offers available as of now. As you can see they are different offers available with hotels and airlines. For hotel offers, although you need to make booking online you can pay with the card enrolled in the offer at the time of check out. This also present's a nice stacking opportunity. For e.g. Hilton Honors Aspire Card provides $250 resort credit every year at participating resorts. This could easily stack with the $100 back on $500 spend on Hilton Brand Hotels in Europe if you have that offer added to your Hilton Credit Card and use it for paying at the participating resorts in Europe.
The other example of possible stack is if you have Delta Offer above of $40 back on $200 which can stack with the Companion ticket which comes with Platinum Delta Skymiles or Delta Reserve credit card. Since American Express only allows one Amex Offer of given type across all American Express card on person's name, it would be best to add the offer to the credit card where you can possibly stack. So, next time you see any travel Amex Offers do not forget to add it to the card where you can maximize it!!

Alaska Airlines credit card is issued by Bank of America in U.S.A. Although the card has annual fees of $75, it does comes with a decent sign up bonus for 25k to 40k miles and a great companion fare ticket which you receive after the minimum spend requirement and then annually after paying the annual fees. The companion fare allows the purchase of companion ticket for $99+ taxes and fees (Or for $0+ taxes and fees for 1st year of companion certificate if you had hop on the promotion last year). Alaska Airlines maintains an FAQ for the companion fare, but the real incredible feature is not mentioned there. Below is the quick summary about the companion fare:
As you can see from above, you can fly from Honolulu to San Jose and to New York and back all in for a great price and stop at multiple locations for a good amount of time. That's a lot of flying. On top of it you can have open-jaw ticket flying in and out of different airport and thus you can maximize your companion fare further. Given that each passenger would also earn 1 mile for each mile flown, you would earn good amount of miles. Also Alaska Airlines partners with various international airlines such as Cathay Pacific, Emirates etc, so in addition to Alaska Airlines you can redeem your miles on these partner airlines as well. So, if you are on the sidelines but do plan to travel with your companion and stay close to Alaska Airlines flight destinations, you would definitely want to take a look at Alaska Airlines credit card!
