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:
https://www.bankofamerica.com/smallb...-credit-card//
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.
Also see the Applying for Business Credit Cards [Consolidated] thread (not-BofA-specific) for general tips on applying for business cards.

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.

I plan on using mine for EWR-SEA-HNL and back in F. Last I checked, it was about $1400. Add the $99 companion cert and taxes and such and it's a little more than a normal priced ticket to Hawaii.

If the companion certificate is issued on 01MAY2012 will it need to be used for travel before 01MAY2013 or can it be used to book prior to 01MAY2013 for travel beyond 01MAY2013? In other words, can I apply today and plan to use the certificate in the summer of 2013?

You only have to book the flights before the expiration day.

GONE
The links for the 30K and 35K are no longer working, at least for me. They looked like "zombie" links & I'm guessing BofA shut them down.
Can anyone get them to work?

Maybe it was a marketing test.
Maybe the 40K's coming back soon- about this time last year.

It's unfortunate this link went down! I knew it was a long shot, but I would have used it this summer if it would have still been around. Maybe the 40k will be out again, cheers! I'm ready for my 2nd!
All the constant links going up and falling down so fast has made it hard to keep up!
