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.

I got the AS card w/in past 12 months. Applied for the 50k card. Approved for 8k CL. Will let all know if I get the 50k. My other Visa Sig card has 7k CL.
I think you get Visa Sig card if you get 5k or more CL.

I've read many reports of folks having 2 or 3 BofA AS cards at once. Ignore the fine print. 
Oh I know that part...I'm just curious if BoA is tracking this enough- or folks would get both 25K chunks. I just wish I'd get a 100K offer for AMEX Plat too

Damn, wife just applied 2 days ago. Any chance I can get them to bump up the miles since we haven't gotten the card or anything?

It certainly is not on the online application site.

I got anywhere from 700 to 720 depending on the credit agency. I got the platinum and , not the visa signature. Was anyone ever able to change their decision and get a visa signature?

You can try calling them and see if they can switch the offer over, but with the card in hand, I can't get the offer matched. Similarly to jmj8778, I got mine last month and after online chat, two messages, and one phone call, got nowhere with matching. All reps stated that they don't match and I will have to apply for then new card. They said it's no problem to have multiple AK cards at the same time.

50K offer now available https://www.applyonlinenow.com/USCCa...ry?sc=VAB3E8#b
audio-nut, thanks for posing.
Questions for you: How did you get this link? From an email (or regular mail letter)? Did it indicate an expiration date? And was there any sort of required invitation code - or just the link itself?
