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 applied via the 35k link hours before it was reported dead. I received my card on Saturday and called to activate it which involved speaking to a BofA rep. He told me I was really lucky to be receiving 25k miles with the card. I replied that it should be 35k. He said the information he had indicated it was only 25k and I might want to call AS because they may be responsible for a 10k bonus. That did not seem right to me. I then called AS and so far no miles had been added to my account. I called AS again this morning and 35k new miles are in the account. ^

Does anyone have a screenshot of the 35K deal? I can't seem to find the one I took and they're hassling me about the number of miles. Thanks!

Same benefits as the usual card offer.

Maybe not the highs of 2011, but better than just complaining about how bad the blogosphere is. . .
As Seinfeld would say, "Not that there's anything wrong with that."

These are excellent offers but the new trend is much higher minimum spend than last year

great find, thanks for posting this. it almost sounds like 25k for first purchase and the 15K for the 7500 in spend, but it isn't that clear in the wording?

Too high of a min spend requirement for my taste, but for someone that can reach it, love the AS program, even with the recent changes.
