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.

Link to enhanced AS card that waives $99 fee for Companion Fare (only pay taxes & fees): 30K miles and $99 CF fee waived

$100 stmt. credit link for 30K card & $22 CF pass:https://secure.bankofamerica.com/applynow/welcome.go Now active, as of 7/19/17

Business card offer of 30K miles

Can you book Cathay flights using AS miles? Probably NOT:

my 25K bonus miles posted immediately, even before I received the card. Is this normal?

Yes, the bonus is 25,000 miles "on approval", not after first spend. Since BoA takes its time sending out the cards, often one's bonus posts before the card shows up.

I must have misread. I thought there was a $1000 spend requirement.

That's for the statement credit, not for the sign up bonus.

I applied on the 12th and got my card on the 23rd. When I call Bank of America to verify that $100 statement credit after 1k spend they couldn't find it on my account. I took a screenshot of offer but is this common for others? I don't really want to spend $1000 on this card if the credit is not going to post...

What's the time frame for the 12 apps? Over how long?

I just got approved for 4 cards about a week ago; those were my 4 first BofA cards ever.

I think he applied on the 12th of May , not submitting 12 apps.

Also, I called when our card arrived because I did not see the $100 statement credit listed in welcome packet. It was confirmed by rep on phone and then letter from B of A came with description of spend requirement for credit.
YMMV

Also thought of another possible hang up.
$100 statement credit is for new customers only. We alternate each year on card application,(me or hubby) so it is a new account. Also keeps miles "even" in our alaska miles account. I was way ahead last year, now hubby will catch up with this years spending.

I understand it takes a while for BOA to send the actual credit cards out, but it's been two weeks since my approval but I haven't received the credit card yet. Is this odd or normal? I did receive the 25K miles in my MP account.'

Update: Just checked my mailbox, so it must have come in this past weekend.
