If you are applying for a personal Alaska card, and are not an expert on applying for Alaska cards STOP, don't apply yet.
Instead, read this post. Doing that first may save you a huge amount of wasted time and frustration.
A few people in the Alaska Airlines forum have in the past received personally targeted, single-use links for a 50k offer
when they opt-in to "Partner Offers" in their Mileage Plan account preferences.

BUSINESS CARDS
30k mile offer, $75 AF, $1k spend, no foreign transaction fees:

Note: There are two different earning formats for the business card, which you choose when you apply:
To avoid billing confusion later, make sure you choose the Individual Level Earning Plan if you are not going to have employee cards under the same account as your account.

Credit Enquiries for Personal cards come from BofA. Enquiries for business cards come from FIA. Credit bureaus usually merge enquiries from the same requester made on the same day. Enquiries from BofA and FIA will not be merged.
When do the initial bonus miles post? You will get the miles after the statement closes for the cycle in which you meet your minimum spend. Usually AS points show up the Sunday evening after your statement closes, but sometimes it takes an additional week.
If there's a statement credit, when does it post?
It seems to be batch-processed. It will post automatically. Can be on the same statement or the next statement. It does not appear to be based on the statement close date.

Any updates? Has anyone who was not targeted for the 50k offer received the additional 25,000 miles with the $1k spend?

I'm interested in knowing as well... Hopefully BoA's archaic CC system will just give 50K for everyone who applied using that link.
Also, does anyone know if BoA cards are churnable?
The AS card does not give any advantages for flying on AA/DL.

BOA cards are widely reported to be churnable, as soon as every 3 months, with no requirement to close the old card. I'll be testing this next month or as soon as WN 50K offers come back.

Yes. I got one Southwest card in November that will post its bonus miles in January, and I'm holding off any apps until I can get a second one. My international travel through 2015 is already covered.

Of course. The next WN 50K offer will determine the timing of my next BOA Alaska app. I got the 25K offer w statement credit in October.

If reports come back that we won't be getting the extra 25k after 1k spend, I'm going to close this card and begin churning it for the 25k every 3 months. How long is it suggested to wait before closing and should I put a bit of spend on it first?

Only if you really want to pay AF every 3 months for 25K miles.
