Atmos Rewards now offers six communities, four open to all members and two requiring residency. The program expanded from two to six communities as of October 1, 2026. Joining a community is optional and costs nothing, but members can belong to only one at a time. They can change their selection once every 12 months through their Atmos Rewards account. Each community provides quarterly flight deals, 20% off Atmos Rewards Unlocked experiences, tailored partner offers, and a bonus points challenge. Atmos Rewards said, "The biggest value here comes from the community-specific perks."

Club 49 for Alaska residents

Club 49 provides Alaska residents with exclusive flight deals, partner offers, free bags, and a Bonus Points Challenge. Membership requires an Alaska mailing address. The challenge offers up to 10,000 bonus points and status points for visiting 10 curated destinations. Members also receive 20% off community-specific Atmos Unlocked experiences.

Huaka’i by Hawaiian for Hawaii residents

Huaka’i by Hawaiian gives Hawaii residents 20% off Atmos Unlocked experiences, free bags, partner offers, and a Bonus Points Challenge. This mirrors Hawaiian Airlines' long-standing special program for local residents. Starting January 1, 2027, a standout benefit will activate: 50% bonus points and status points on Neighbor Island travel.

Interest-based communities

Global Locals, Active Escapes, and Culinary Journeys offer partner offers and tailored benefits for international travel, adventure, and food-focused trips. Global Locals members earn 10% more status points on flights starting or ending outside the U.S., applicable to both revenue and award travel. They also earn 1 status point for every 25 Atmos Rewards points transferred from an eligible loyalty partner like Bilt or Marriott Bonvoy. For example, transferring 100,000 Bilt points yields 4,000 bonus status points.

Active Escapes applies its 20% Atmos Unlocked discount to outdoor experiences. Culinary Journeys directs that same discount to food and wine experiences.

Families on the Go benefits

Families on the Go provides 20% points back on award flights for children 12 and under, credited within 24 hours of travel completion. The rebate applies only to the points cost of children’s awards, not taxes or fees. It covers up to seven children per reservation with no usage cap. Children must be community members at the time of travel, not at booking.

Every community features a Bonus Points Challenge running from October 1, 2026, to December 31, 2027. Members earn points for visiting each of 10 specific destinations, with the value increasing per visit. The first destination visited earns 100 bonus and status points, while the tenth earns 3,000. Completing all 10 destinations yields a total of 10,000 bonus points and 10,000 status points. For context, Atmos Silver status requires 20,000 status points, and Atmos Gold requires 40,000. Award tickets and eligible partner flights count if the Atmos Rewards number is attached to the reservation. Eligibility depends on being in the community on the day of the flight, not the booking date. Switching communities resets challenge progress but retains any points already earned.

Joining a community opts the member into Alaska and Hawaiian marketing emails. Unsubscribing from these emails may result in the loss of some community benefits. Members can join a community by logging into their Atmos Rewards account and selecting 'Join a Community'.
