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.
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.

Alright... I applied for the personal alaska card a while ago (more than a week). And right after I applied, I called and the representative told me I am going to get the platinum plus version. I ask if it is possible for me to transfer CL or do a CLI to get the visa signature version in order to get the 25k. She told me that theres no way to do so and ask me to apply again.
Here comes the interesting part: Today, i received the card, and to my surprise, it is a visa signature! I am not sure what had happened, but I am ok with that. I am going to send them a secured msg and hope they can confirm that with me soon.
I will let you guys know how things go!

Update: Just chatted with the guy online. He seems very not knowledgable, and whenever I ask him questions, he just refer to the normal alaska application website. That wasn't helpful at all and will give them a call to see if that is any better.

My $100 statement credit posted a week later than expected. They must have had IT issues. Hopefully yours posted too.

For those of you doing 2 browser, is it consolidated into 1 pull or 2 separate pulls?

Datapoint:
1. Applied for BankOfAmerica VisaSignature. I've had one more same card earlier (but now closed).
2. Got approved for PlatinumPlus (with lower benefits) instead.
3. Called recon lines. They moved my credit around and put in a request to upgrade my card to VisaSignature and I'll know about it in 7-10 business days.
They did say "I can continue to use PlatinumPlus till I heard about the upgrade".
Questions:
Do I get the $50-alaska-credit/5000 miles from PlatinumPlus still even after upgrade?
Do I get the 25000 bonus miles/$100 reimbursement once my card is upgraded?

This may have been asked, but does anyone know if I can close a BofA card online or do I have to call in?

If one has a credit score of 790 and no mortgage or debt, what are the chances of getting approved for the Signature card? Don't want to apply for this card if I can't get this card and the 25,000 miles. Thanks.
