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.

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.

First 25k already deposited in my acct. Haven't even received the card yet! When they say "25k on approval"--they're serious!

Question
I applied for an AS BofA card in February and got one. ( my second or third?) It says that we are not eligible for the bonus if we have applied for this " product" in the last 12 months.
Anyone get stymied by this? Is this " product" considered the same as the one I applied for in February?
Right now the way I figure it if you apply, get 25K and buy $1000 worth of AS miles... with the current 35% bonus sale you have enough miles for a partner BIZ class award somewhere.

Applied on 12/12, instant approval. Miles show posted on 12/13. That's the fastest I've ever received a CC miles bonus.

Applied for the card - only 25K miles confirmed
I applied for the card and was approved for an $18K credit line. After calling BofA was told that my card is coded as me only getting 25K miles and there is nothing about the additional 25K after spending $1k in the first three months. I took a screen shot of the application - don't know if this will help. I was not targeted and I live in NJ.

While Citi doesn't approve you if you're not going to get the bonus that was stated on the landing page, that's not the case with all other banks. If BofA approves you whether they're to give you the full bonus or not, how does approval prove anything?

Various reports (this thread included, I believe) indicate that people that do not live in WA and were not targeted applied and upon approval confirmed with the rep that they were going to get the 50K bonus.

I'm not even gonna bother calling. If I get it, yay. If not, well, whatcha gonna do. BoA reps are not Chase reps and from what I understand will not match/work with you on bonuses.
