Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines combined their programs into Atmos Rewards in August 2025\. The name changed, but the partner chart stayed: one-way awards on oneworld airlines and partners such as Qatar, Japan Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Starlux, priced by distance and allowing a stopover. Atmos points carry a typical value of about 1.55¢, the highest of any U.S. airline. The catch is getting points in: among the big banks, only Bilt transfers to Atmos.

## How partner awards are priced

Partner awards are priced by distance on three regional charts: the Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa; and Asia-Pacific. These are saver ("starting at") prices; some partners show higher prices when no saver space exists.

| Europe, Middle East, Africa | Economy | Premium economy | Business | First   |
| --------------------------- | ------- | --------------- | -------- | ------- |
| Under 1,500 miles           | 7,500   | 10,000          | 15,000   | 22,500  |
| 1,501–3,500 miles           | 22,500  | 30,000          | 45,000   | 67,500  |
| 3,501–5,000 miles           | 27,500  | 35,000          | 55,000   | 82,500  |

| 7,001–10,000 miles          | 42,500  | 55,000          | 85,000   | 130,000 |

| Asia-Pacific       | Economy | Premium economy | Business | First   |
| ------------------ | ------- | --------------- | -------- | ------- |
| Under 1,500 miles  | 7,500   | 10,000          | 15,000   | 22,500  |
| 1,501–3,000 miles  | 25,000  | 32,500          | 50,000   | 75,000  |
| 3,001–5,000 miles  | 30,000  | 40,000          | 60,000   | 90,000  |
| 5,001–7,000 miles  | 37,500  | 50,000          | 75,000   | 110,000 |
| 7,001–10,000 miles | 42,500  | 55,000          | 85,000   | 130,000 |

Alaska and Hawaiian flights have their own "from" prices that can rise with demand, starting at 4,500 points for flights under 700 miles.

## Status, briefly

Silver at 20,000 status points, Gold at 40,000, Platinum at 80,000 and Titanium at 135,000, with earning bonuses of 25% to 150%.

Where it shines

- A published partner chart, priced by distance, on strong oneworld partners
- A stopover on one-way awards
- No change or cancellation fees
- The highest typical value of any U.S. airline currency

Where it falls short

- Only Bilt transfers in among the big banks
- $20 partner fee per person, each way
- Chart prices are starting levels, and the lowest levels have limited availability
- Card offers and terms are still settling after the merger

The Atelier Take

Worth holding for oneworld business class with a stopover; for most people, Bilt is the practical way to fill the account.
