Where to log into your Alaska Airlines credit card

Alaska Airlines credit cardholders log in through the card 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 to access your account, make payments, and view your statement.

Go to bankofamerica.com and select "Credit Cards" from the main menu. From there, you can enter your username and password to reach your Alaska Airlines card account. If you don't yet have a Bank of America online account, you'll need to set one up first — this takes about five minutes and requires your card number and Social Security number.

You can also read the Bank of America mobile app and log in there. The app lets you check your balance, make payments, and review recent transactions 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.
  • If you don't have a Bank of America online account yet, you'll create one using your card number and Social Security number.
  • You can log in on the website or through the Bank of America mobile app to manage your account from anywhere.
  • If you forget your password, Bank of America offers password reset options through email or text message verification.

Setting up your first login

When you receive your Alaska Airlines credit card, you won't automatically have a Bank of America online account. You need to create one before you can log in. Visit bankofamerica.com and look for "Enroll Now" or "Create Account" — the exact link location changes occasionally, but it's always on the homepage.

You'll need your 16-digit card number, your date of birth, and your Social Security number. Bank of America will verify your identity and send you a temporary password by email or text. After you log in with that temporary password, you'll create a permanent username and password of your own.

The whole process usually takes five to ten minutes. Once you're set up, you can log in anytime to check your balance, view statements, or make a payment.

What you can do after logging in

Once you're logged into your Alaska Airlines credit card account, you have access to several features. You can view your current balance, see your credit limit, and review all recent transactions. You can also read PDF copies of your monthly statements going back several months.

Payment is straightforward: select "Make a Payment," choose whether you want to pay the full balance or a specific amount, and pick your payment date. Bank of America processes most payments within one business day. You can also set up automatic payments so your bill is paid on the same date every month — this is useful if you want to avoid late fees.

The account page also shows your rewards balance if you're earning Alaska Airlines miles. You can see how many miles you've accumulated and check the terms of your specific card's rewards program.

Troubleshooting login problems

If you can't remember your username or password, Bank of America offers a straightforward reset process. On the login page, select "Forgot Username?" or "Forgot Password?" and follow the prompts. You'll verify your identity using your card number and Social Security number, then receive a reset link by email or text message.

If you're locked out after multiple failed login attempts, wait 24 hours before trying again. Bank of America temporarily blocks accounts after several incorrect password entries to protect against fraud. If you still can't log in after 24 hours, call Bank of America's customer service number on the back of your card — they can unlock your account and walk you through the reset process.

If you're having trouble with the Bank of America website itself — pages won't load, buttons aren't responding — try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then log in again. If the problem persists, try a different browser or the mobile app instead.

Using the mobile app instead of the website

The Bank of America mobile app works the same way as the website but is often faster on a phone. read the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, then log in with the same username and password you use on bankofamerica.com.

The app lets you check your balance, make payments, and view transactions in real time. Many people find it easier to make a quick payment from their phone than to log into a website on a computer. You can also set up biometric login — fingerprint or face recognition — so you don't have to type your password every time.

Keeping your login find

Your Alaska Airlines credit card account contains sensitive financial information, so protect your login details. Never share your username, password, or card number with anyone — not even Bank of America employees. Bank of America will never ask for your password by email or phone.

Use a strong password that includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using the same password across multiple websites. If you use a password manager like 1Password or Bitwarden, you can store your Bank of America login securely and generate a unique, complex password.

Log out when you're done, especially on a shared computer. Bank of America will also automatically log you out after a period of inactivity for security reasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Alaska Airlines website the same as the Bank of America login?

No. Alaska Airlines' website (alaskaair.com) is for booking flights and managing reservations. Your credit card account is managed through Bank of America's website (bankofamerica.com). They are separate systems.

What if I lost my card and need to log in?

You can still log in with your username and password — your login credentials are separate from your physical card. Once logged in, you can report the card lost or stolen directly through your account, or call the number on the back of any Bank of America statement you have on file.

Can I log in if I'm outside the United States?

Yes. Bank of America's website and app work internationally, though you may see a security prompt asking you to verify your location. You can log in and manage your account from anywhere with an internet connection.

Do I need to log in to earn Alaska Airlines miles?

No. Miles are earned automatically when you use your card — you don't have to do anything. Logging in lets you check your balance and see how many miles you've accumulated, but the earning happens whether you log in or not.
