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.

Is there anyway you can get your Alaska Airlines acct # they create for you before the card arrives? Alaska Airlines has a 35% bonus on all miles purchased today, however I want them to end up in the same acct that gets setup for the credit card... thoughts?

You may be able to. Go to the Mileage Plan sign-up page. Under Mileage Plan Number - click the "Forgot Mileage Plan Number?" link. You put in the known info. If they have created one for you it should return your number. Then you can create your online account and be good to go.

As a datapoint, my mom applied for it about a week ago (the 12th maybe?) Hers has not posted. She doesn't have an Alaska card before and didn't bother creating an FF account, but she got the card today but 25k has not been posted to her account.
I have an alaska account and my 25k was posted the day I received my card. Pretty quick!
Not sure why the difference other than the one account is an existing account, and the other is not. We'll wait it out for a bit.

Just received the card today. When I activated it by calling customer service, the rep told me that my sign-up bonus is only 25k upon approval but no additional 25k after 1000 spending. I remember that the recon told me I would get 50k bonus.
Anyone has same experience?

This is bad news bears. When I get my card in the mail I don't even think I'm going to ask, I'm going to just stick to disputing if the extra 25k doesn't post.

It seems all Alaskan offers are currently dead.
