A rewarding shopping experience

Every purchase you make with the Alaska USA Visa® credit card earns rewards points that can be used for travel and merchandise. Did you also know you can use your reward points when you make purchases at Walgreens, CVS®, or even online purchases through PayPal? Scan the QR code to learn more.

Tap to pay

The Alaska USA Visa business and personal debit cards and personal credit cards are now equipped for contactless payments. Using contactless is easy and secure!

Look for the contactless symbol on the store’s checkout terminal.
Tap your card or wave it within a few inches of the Contactless Symbol. (Tip: actual tapping is optional.)
Once you hear the “beep,” a checkmark, or green light lets you know your payment has been processed.

To get your contactless debit card, visit your local branch or call the Member Service Center 24/7 at 800-525-9094.

Alaska USA Foundation

The Alaska USA Foundation was established in 2003 as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, providing financial support to organizations that serve our communities through needs-based services that benefit children, veterans, active-duty military and their families, and local food banks and pantries.

Throughout its 18 years, the Alaska USA Foundation has distributed more than $3 million to nonprofit organizations across Alaska, Arizona, California, and Washington. Every year the Alaska USA Foundation hosts three in-branch campaigns; Members Making Change, Cash for Cans, and Calendar Sales. Through the continued support of our members these campaigns have raised more than $150,000 annually. To further its mission, the Foundation recently held the first Fairway Friends Golf Tournament to support two Alaska organizations. The event was successful in raising $130,000, allowing the Foundation to give $65,000 to each of the beneficiaries. Another Fairway Friends Golf Tournament is scheduled for this November in Arizona and is already sold out!

Thank you for your continued support of the Alaska USA Foundation. Without members like you, we could not impact our communities in the way we do.
