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.

Anyone approved that has applied for the card within the last 12 months? Wondering if they are enforcing that part of the T&Cs?

Is anyone concerned about this invitation only bit? Who has gotten a confirmation of the 50K bonus?

I called and the rep couldn't confirm the extra 25k miles; she just knew about the first 25k ones

As nice as 50K AS miles might come in handy, I will stay away from this one since I last applied in June. Use to be able to churn this one without issues (3 times in the last year-and-a-half). However, with the new 12-month language in the T&C's (and it is clearly indicated), I suspect BofA is now trying to weed out churners by extending the time periods between applications, much like what AMEX does with their CC's.

That has happened to me a lot with BoA cards, last time with Virgin Atlantic. I think this is the way their system is set up, but more experienced CSRs will know how to find the second part of the bonus. So that doesn't mean anything, you might wanna call again.

Is there a 50K offer for the business version of the card somewhere?

First time applying, got the dreaded "we will contact you" message. I have a 750+ FICO and have never had a BAC card or account before. Any idea how to proceed? Wait or call recon line?

You may want to wait a day or two. Make sure your application is in the system.

How long do offers like this generally remain open? I'm torn between a few cards but would like to grab this one if it is going to go back down in the near future.
