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.

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).

Any one know a way to get BofA to close an account when they demand you call in after first SM attempt?
My wife almost refuses to call and I would prefer not to. I have closed a couple Alaska cards in the past with SM and this is the first time I have ran into resistance.
I would love to close both accounts through SM but not get blacklisted from further Alaska churns.

is there any way to get that $100 statement credit offer without actually purchasing a refundable ticket on Alaska air website?

Excuse me if this has been discussed before: does the companion pass get canceled, if I close the credit card?

I have EX frozen and never go pending. I'm in an Exquifax geographic area. Maybe stop rolling your eyes just because you made an overgeneralization and it got corrected.

I've seen many posts over a considerable period of time where the OP reported a need to unfreeze a CB to be approved. Your post is the only one I've ever seen that said the opposite. I'm guessing you have an incorrect idea of what Citi is choosing to pull for you.

Applied the day before the 100 statement credit link died and both were auto approved but yet only one showed up online and today only 25K miles posted. Anyone had similar experiences? If so did you call in? Thx.

That seems to me to be the generalization. There are no set in stone "areas". It's more likely that Citi is deciding on it's own to pull something else for you, and you are just assuming it originally wanted to pull EX.
