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.

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.

According to the blogger CandianKilometers, the email that was sent out to targeted individuals indicate that this offer is targeted to Washington residents (no doubt beefing up against Delta's attack).
Still went for it and was approved; we'll see if the bonuses are awarded nonetheless.

I was approved last night but still do not have an email confirmation. Is that typical for this card?

I'd applied for this and been approved on 11/15. I hadn't even activated the card yet.
I called up, and the initial rep was unwilling/unable to match this offer... and frankly seemed totally confused on how to even look into it (tried to forward me to Alaska Airlines).
The manager said I'd have to apply and open a new account. After a while, he came up with the idea of them transferring my account to a new one with the bonus. I told him I didn't want another hard credit hit, so he submitted the request and the question about credit to the 'corporate manager' and said he'd call me back and let me know what the situation is, whether I can get the bonus on my recent approval, etc.
I'll update if/when I hear back.

Had to go for a mini-AOR in light of this offer. Got approved for Citi Hilton (my third), US Airways (my 3rd too, but closed the first two earlier this year), and Alaska after a call. The CSR was also unable to confirm the second 25K part of the bonus, so will call again tomorrow. Still thinking what else to apply for since the day is still young. Thanks OP for posting this offer.

So I applied even though I got the card in the past 12 months, we'll see what happens. Gonna have to call in to get approved, as usual with BofA, but been a customer for 15+ years, so shouldnt be an issue, hopefully.
Sucks because the wife just applied last week for 2 25K offers, biz and personal, eh.

How do we know what version of the card you were approved for? It just said I was approved with a $5k limit. Does that mean it's the signature version? Is the only way to find out to call?

I'm playing it by ear. Not even sure that kind of decision can be appealed, no?
