Bank Of America To Become Atmos Rewards Transfer Partner In 2027

Atmos Rewards–Bank Of America Transfer Capability Slated For 2027

Alaska Airlines said on September 29, 2026 that in 2027 it intends to enable customers holding eligible Bank Of America card products to transfer points into its Atmos Rewards loyalty program, creating a new path into Atmos Rewards for Bank Of America cardholders and an additional revenue opportunity for Alaska through the sale of points. Bank Of America currently issues the Atmos Rewards co-branded credit cards, but Atmos Rewards has not previously had a transferable points currency.

The two lead-source reports on the announcement did not specify which Bank Of America card products will support transfers, the transfer ratio, or any launch date within 2027. One outlet noted that Alaska has also signaled it plans to add points-transfer opportunities with other select global financial institutions, wording that suggests non-U.S. issuers rather than other U.S. card programs.

Alaska Readies New Atmos Debit Card And Business Card Refresh

Alongside the transfer-partner news, Alaska disclosed two further Bank Of America–linked products. A new Bank Of America–issued Atmos Rewards debit card is planned to launch in 2027, and the Atmos Rewards Visa Business Card is to be refreshed later in 2026. Alaska said the refreshed business card will earn 10x points on eligible purchases through Atmos Rewards for Business and will add benefits including lounge passes and free same-day confirmed flight changes.

The announcement builds on comments earlier in 2026 from Alaska Airlines' CFO, who had publicly said the carrier would like to be a transferable partner for Bank Of America.

Open Questions Around The New Currency

Because Bank Of America has not yet detailed the mechanics of the transfer capability, several questions remain unanswered. It has not been disclosed whether the feature will be added to existing Bank Of America cards as an alternative to cash-back earning or whether a new dedicated points-earning card will be introduced, and no transfer ratios or fees have been announced.

Atmos Rewards has historically limited its transfer partners, with Bilt Rewards (and Marriott Bonvoy) cited as the only existing relationships; the indication that additional global financial institutions could be added in the future leaves the scope of further expansion undefined.

What To Watch Next

The next verifiable milestone is the 2027 launch of points transfers from eligible Bank Of America card products to Atmos Rewards, accompanied by the planned 2027 launch of the new Atmos Rewards debit card and the later-in-2026 refresh of the Atmos Rewards Visa Business Card. Further detail on eligible Bank Of America card products and transfer terms is expected before that launch window.
