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.
Also see the Applying for Business Credit Cards [Consolidated] thread (not-BofA-specific) for general tips on applying for business cards.

Business card Recon Line:
866-695-6598 (8-7 EST M-F from what I was told)

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.

Anyone only interested in AS points may want to push this and see what happens. Those of us applying for lots of other cards, especially the 50K miles/points ones, will probably want to stick with every 90 days for AS cards anyway.

Too short a timeframe, and too few data points to call it a rule. But there are several reports that B/A Recon CSRs said something about 90 days recently. However, one CSR said "one card per 90 days", after which another OP got approved for 2 cards the same day. So maybe more of a guideline than a rule?

Lots of AS newbie questions here:
Ms EkekoBWI misplaced her AS Visa CC a few weeks ago, and AS sent a replacement in the mail. We received a new CC in the mail and have yet to activate it. Would the smarter thing to do be apply for yet another AS Visa CC for another 25k bonus? Do I need to cancel the newly arrived, and still inactive card (or account)?

How soon are people seeing the $100 SC after meeting the $1,000 spend? The AF of $75 are already posted on my cards.

How long is typical after statement closing to show up in Alaska miles account?
