I have had my Alaskin Airlines signiture card for three years. i originally thought it would be a good card to have, but the interest rate is very high, even though my credit is excellent. The annual fee is the highest of any mileage card I have had. I thought the benefit of an annual airline buddy pass for $50 sounded good but found out that they add several "costs" into the final expense and there is very little savings. I used my miles to purchase an airline ticket one way and paid the return flight on Alaskin airlines but found that I coud have spent less buying a full round trip ticket on Southwest airlines. I have cancelled this card and now use a southwest visa card. The only really positive thing I can say about the Alaskin Airlines Signiture card is that it looked really cool. The black card with gold writing looked great and made me feel worthwhile. I took this card with me to Mexico but choose to use a card with a lower interest rate while I was there.
