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.

Reconsideration # (for personal cards):
1-800-354-0401 (8am-7pm ET Mon-Fri) direct, referring agent from another BofA line called it their "credit department"
1-866-811-4108 from the Alaska Airlines Visa thread post 949
Business card Recon Line:
866-695-6598 (8-7 EST M-F from what I was told)
Biz card status line: 888 663 6262
Biz Card credit analyst line: 877 665 5022, 877 665 5023 (seems to be non-working number)

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.

Interesting comment on this Points With A Crew Post:
I don't think doing multiples in a day killed it, was more a total volume of apps (which multiples in a day does contribute to).
According to a BofA exec within their card services group, the link was pulled after seeing too many apps through the link(s) not directly coming from the Alaska Airlines web site.
The promotion was/is directed to those who actually made a reservation for travel on Alaska. Once you completed your paid reservation and received a confirmation/record locator, then you would see the promotion giving you the opportunity to apply for the Visa Signature card – with the 25, 000 mile sign-up bonus and $100 statement credit.
I have been advised that the promotion continues – for now.
A work-around is to purchase a non-penalty type fare for travel on Alaska, look for the promo – then sign-up for the Visa Signature card product, then go back and cancel your reservation.

Sounds like analytics from FT > app probably killed it.

Now we're going to have people call in 5 separate times trying to apply for this card and demand an statement credit...

You would have gotten your 75K and $300 if folks wouldn't have amped up to 3+ cards. I'm sitting on 9M points/miles since starting the game 3 years ago. And on Monday, I'm flying Etihad Apartments, the new Holy Grail of the Hobby!
And b/c I follow the advice of the guys who've been playing it smart for years, and not getting super greedy, this is a no-cost hobby! This AS deal was one of those seemingly endless golden gooses. Until stupidity kicked in.
How about you don't help kill the next golden goose for the rest of us?

Wiki link=link after purchase. Picture on page before purchase is just an image, no active link associated.

I manage several of our family members accounts and we pool the points, so it's probably 80-20 cc bonuses-MS. Plus there's the whole double dipping in Canada thing which helps...

Same thing happened to my wife last quarter, but she was approved 3.5 months later (with several other recent apps). I'll try again in 3 months.
