There are several reasons why the Atmos\u2122 Rewards Summit Visa Infinite\u00ae Credit Card<\/a><\/span> earned the coveted title of TPG’s favorite new personal credit card of 2025,<\/a><\/span> and the Global Companion Award is a major one.<\/p>\n

Among the card’s suite of benefits, the companion award stands out for both its simplicity and its potential value. Used strategically, it can deliver substantial savings, particularly on high-cost international or premium-cabin award flights.<\/p>\n

Whether you already have the card in your wallet or are considering applying, here’s what you need to know about the Atmos Summit’s Global Companion Award.<\/p>\n

What is the Global Companion Award?<\/h2>\n

The Global Companion Award is an exclusive benefit of the Atmos Rewards Summit<\/a><\/span> that allows cardholders to reduce the points cost of a companion’s award ticket when booking two seats on Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines and eligible Oneworld partner airlines.<\/p>\n

Each cardmember anniversary, cardholders receive a 25,000-point Global Companion Award. Those who spend $60,000 or more in a cardmember year can earn a second award worth 100,000 points.<\/p>\n

According to TPG’s March 2026 valuations<\/a><\/span>, the 25,000-point award is worth $375, and the 100,000-point award is worth $1,500. Taxes and fees still apply when redeeming either award.<\/p>\n

When booking two award tickets, the certificate automatically discounts the companion’s ticket by either 25,000 or 100,000 Atmos Rewards points<\/a><\/span> (depending on which award you’re using). This can make the benefit especially valuable on expensive international or business-class itineraries.<\/p>\n

Global Companion Awards are always valid for 12 months from issuance. As long as you book your ticket before the expiration date, your travel can take place after the one-year mark.<\/p>\n
