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.

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.

I found a link to a similar offer that seems to work:
https://www.applyonlinenow.com/USCCa...ry?sc=VAB3E9#b
25k at approval
25k after $1000 spend within 90 days
Annual fee NOT waived
(Don't know the source and didn't try it out, so YMMV.)

Any difference between this offer and the now-dead 50k offer from a week ago?

Hi guys, just FYI, I asked BofA to expedite the delivery. It turned out they used UPS Next Day. So, it's possible to ask them do a rush delivery. Hopefully I'll receive the card tomorrow.
BTW, I haven't received the initial bonus (approved on Tuesday).

Instant approval for $12.5k using the new link. I'll report back when the bonus points post.

I called the recon line 866-530-9829. I told the rep that I planned to book Alaska tickets by this weekend and she made a note about my request (or elsewhere). This afternoon I received a UPS reminder of next day air delivery from BofA Lending. Online tracking showed the package was shipped from Phoenix.

Actually, I just found I received two UPS notices. One package is from BofA Lending and the other is from FIA card service. I assume it's the same company?
