Apply for the
business card. The business card does not have a Platinum version (that's the "other one" you're referring to), so you either get approved for business Signature (with the full 30k signup bonus) or denied, no yucky in-between possibilities like with the personal card.
Other than that, no, in that many people who rarely get the Platinum card on personal card applications have gotten it at least once. (With the personal card, you may be able to improve your chances, but you can't guarantee, simply because sometimes you may given a Platinum card
just because BofA makes a mistake [that they later admit, but that's too late].)
So the only way to
guarantee it is never again to apply for the
personal Alaska card.
