Why does this charge appear?
Alaska Airlines uses the abbreviated billing descriptor "AS\*" on bank statements because AS is the airline's official IATA (International Air Transport Association) two-letter carrier code, which the airline incorporates into its payment processing system to identify transactions. When you purchase a ticket, upgrade, or add-on service through Alaska Airlines' booking platform, the charge is processed under this carrier code format rather than the full company name due to character limitations imposed by payment networks like Visa and Mastercard. If you see "AS\*" followed by additional details such as a confirmation number or service type on your statement, it is a legitimate charge from Alaska Airlines.
What should you do?
Identify the AS* charge
The AS* charge on your bank statement is an abbreviated billing descriptor used by Alaska Airlines. Check the transaction amount against any recent Alaska Airlines flight bookings, seat upgrades, or Mileage Plan purchases you may have made at alaskaair.com.
Log into your Alaska Airlines account
Visit alaskaair.com and sign in to your account to review your recent bookings and transaction history. Cross-reference the charge amount and date with any flights, extras, or ancillary fees such as baggage or seat selection that Alaska Airlines may have processed.
Review your Mileage Plan activity
If you are an Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan member, visit alaskaair.com/atmosrewards/account/overview to check your rewards account activity. Some AS* charges may be linked to Mileage Plan membership fees, partner purchases, or bonus mile redemptions that appear separately on your statement.
Manage or cancel your Alaska Airlines subscription
If the AS* charge is for a recurring Alaska Airlines service you no longer want, such as a Mileage Plan Club membership or subscription perk, go directly to alaskaair.com/atmosrewards/account/overview to review and cancel the service before your next billing cycle to avoid future charges.
Is this charge fraudulent?
No, this is a legitimate charge from Alaska Airlines. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
