As an additional resource for these cards see the threads here: Current Alaska Airlines Card Offers. Previous 2012-2016 Alaska Airlines Card Offers.
If you are applying for a personal AS card, and are not an expert on applying for A/S cards STOP, don't apply yet. Instead read post #3688 in the other AS thread linked above. Believe me, doing that first may save you a huge amount of wasted time and frustration.
Link to enhanced AS card that waives $99 fee for Companion Fare (only pay taxes & fees): 30K miles and $99 CF fee waived
$100 stmt. credit link for 30K card & $22 CF pass:https://secure.bankofamerica.com/applynow/welcome.go Now active, as of 7/19/17
Business card offer of 30K miles
Can you book Cathay flights using AS miles? Probably NOT:

need 26K more miles?
I was otp with Alaska about an award ticket and csa asked me if I have a boa Alaska card...well of course I do 
She said you can re-apply and get another 26K miles, which I was totally unaware of. She xfrd me to boa and with about 3 minutes I was approved and 26K more mile should hit my account in 7-10 days.
If you have an Alaska boa card, but were unaware of this, apply and get those miles!

So, I just got the card, and tried to create a profile on alaska airlines using the mileage plan number on the card, however its says invalid. I didn't have an alaska airlines mileage plan number before i applied. Am I doing something wrong?

Yes, applying for the card before you applied for the Alaska FF plan was what you did wrong. Now you just have to call the Alaska FFP and have then straighten it out.

What is the issue is that BofA and AS don't talk to each other in real time when the credit card folks create the account number --- I'd suggest giving AS Mileage Plan a call to find out how frequently the two exchange information and then figure out whether you should wait for a bit before attempting to create an online profile.
You just have a timing issue, that's all.

Quick question: I SM'd BoA on the details of my bonus offer and was told "15,000 additional bonus miles after spending of $10,000.00 in last 6 month after the account open date".
Just to confirm, this means 15k miles total? Or would I get the extra 10k from spend at 1:1 PLUS the 15k (25k total).
Also was anyone able to get this prior to the 6 month mark?

oh maybe. Ive not ever seen that offer. Must be a result of that survey that went out about a year or 2 ago. Too bad they didnt listen to my reccomendation of offering a BoA card for $175 that includes a companion F fare or one that also includes a BR membership for $300

Does anyone have an insight as to whether the 50k Alaska offer is going to come back this year? I despise BofA, and closed my Alaska Visa six years ago over their behaviour, but I'd like to start accumulating some miles on Alaska again in anticipation of some 2016 travel, and this would be a good way to start.

You are no doubt correct, but I'm not a card-churner. I'll just have to wait and see.
