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:

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.

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.

Mine showed w/i the day. I wasn't religious about checking, so I don't know if it was 5 minutes immediately or 50 minutes. I just know that I applied 11 a.m. and when I was checking my other acct I came across it a few hours later.

Is this any different then the one floating around? I applied for one a few months ago and was looking to apply again, but don't think the current 50k offer is eligible for current holders.

i applied for the card under teh 25k offer a few weeks back, any way they will give you the 25k bonus based on the new offer? Like Chase did for the Sapphire offer of 60k?

Guys - I went through the thread but could not find a concrete answer to this. If I meet the spend, get the 50k points, can I cancel my card 3 months after opening and get the credit pro-rated back?
Thx

Probably no as I don't recall BOA doing pro-rated credit. Besides u are getting 50 K miles for basically < $100, which is a very good deal.

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.

Hmm. Just got "We apologize for any inconvenience.
The application you are requesting is currently unavailable."
Maybe pulled?
ETA: Tried again without chip. No error, 30 day message.
