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.

Business card Recon Line:
866-695-6598 (8-7 EST M-F from what I was told)

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.

If it hasn't posted by the end of the day in which your statement closed, you'll get the points on your next statement.

(I put "dine" in quotes as it doesn't always have to be an actual dine; it can be, for example, a gift card or gift certificate purchase at the restaurant, if it sells those.)

Reports in the AS forum of some people receiving 50k personally targeted offers recently, when they opt in to "Partner Offers" in their Mileage Plan account preferences.

Applied for my first Alaska cards last week, approved for Biz w/ $7500 CL but personal only $1000 (Visa Platinum)
Once i get the bonus is it best to cancel them first and apply for new ones or keep them and just apply again? is there a recommended time frame?

Received my 25k bonus shortly after I received the credit card. Statement closed on January 26th with about $1700 purchases. I have not seen this on my alaska airlines account yet. How long does it take? Also did not receive my $100 statement credit. How long does it take?

Has anybody tried to apply recently, it says the application is unavailable when trying to apply.
Edit: Apparently only errors in Private Browsing.

How soon after the statement closing date do the miles post to your Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan account? I haven't received any statements yet, and am curious about the timeline.
(I'm not referring to the sign up bonus miles, just the regular miles from spending)
Thanks.

I completed my spend about 2 days before the close of the third month. The statement credit posted at the close. Im guessing they take their time to post the credit, unless we take our time to do the spend, in which case they don't wait? Just a personal observation.
