As an additional resource for these cards see the threads here: Current Alaska Airlines Card Offers. Previous 2012-2016 Alaska Airlines Card Offers.
If you are applying for a personal AS card, and are not an expert on applying for A/S cards STOP, don't apply yet. Instead read post #3688 in the other AS thread linked above. Believe me, doing that first may save you a huge amount of wasted time and frustration.

Vanilla Reloads > BlueBird to meet spend on Alaska Airlines BOA CC?
Will Vanilla Reload purchases from CVS show as regular transactions or cash advances on the Bank of America Alaska Airlines card? Asking because I may want to purchase a single $500 VR with this card to effectively halve the 1K spend.

How to tell if I got the additional 25K after 1K spend?
* Applied and instantly approved on 12/11/2013
* 25K miles posted on 12/13/2013
* Approved for 10K credit line (5K+ should = visa signature)
Called BOA customer service and CSR seemed unable to tell me what bonus I'd get. When I explained what bonus terms I expected, she made a vague statement that I would receive the 25K + 25K only if it was for an in-flight app or marketing--presuming the offer I applied for was the special marketing one. Never had a CSR rep be unable to tell me exactly what bonus / spend I'd be getting. If this a Hang Up and Call Again situation? e.g. CSR inexperience? Very nice CSR rep by the way. Just wasn't able to confirm the bonus terms--immediately went into a $500 spend routine before I politely interrupted.
For another data point, the 25K miles on approval posted to my AS Mileage Plan account in two pieces as follows (5K + 20K):
* SIGNATURE CARD II ENROLLMENT BONUS Credited 5,000
* SIGNATURE CARD II ENROLLMENT BONUS 2 Credited 20,000
Is the above a good indicator that I did, or did not, receive the +25K bonus after 1K spend? Or does it not signify anything? Guess I can meet the 1K spend and see what happens. The ability to use VR would accelerate the process. Will VR purchases post as normal transactions on this card?

Yeah pity that - I wanted a few friends of mine to get in on it, but they didn't move quickly enough. Personally, I'd been waiting for a good one to come along, since I've had the "gold" Alaska visa for a long time and this was the right time to pounce. Now it makes sense why they didn't send me the email. In the end, just glad they didn't mind an application from Yakima.
Best deal I can remember, but there's always another coming.

My wife's card came in the mail today. She hadn't been instantly approved and applied after me--either later the same day or a day or two afterwards. She got a 5K credit line so it's a Visa Signature. Just called CSR and the rep saw the 25K on approval and additional 25K after 1K spend in 3 months with the caveat about it being either from an in-flight app or marketing something-or-other. Hope it turns out that I also got the total 50K offer...

My husband received this offer by email but didn't apply right away. He just called BOA and they said the offer is expired although the email didn't show an expiration date. Has anyone applied in the past 2 days and received approval?

I also met the $1000 spend requirement within three weeks of opening the account. I have a pdf of the offer for the 50K total miles. I sent a message from my BofA account, but haven't heard anything yet (and unlike with some banks' secure messaging systems, you can't attach a document to BofA's)
Anyone a) know when the extra 50K will post, b) have a better way to contact BofA in the event they cavil about the extra 25K?
