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:
https://www.bankofamerica.com/smallb...-credit-card//
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.

Has anyone ever been auto-approved on a business application?

I didn't see any info in the WIKI about what Alaskan miles can be used for besides flying on Alaskan, from my search it seems I may be able to use the miles on DL and AA but can't seem to find any instructions on how to do so.
Is there a thread out there someplace with more info ?
Thanks
EDIT, found my answer

I believed BOA sent data over in batches, so there is no fix dates/interval when you will see your miles post, but most of the time it happens within 1-2 weeks.

Okay, here is a data point for folks.
My Nov 7 and 8 closing dates both posted on Nov 15th. They show the Nov 7 and 8 dates on the AS site.

I'm a noob to the BofA Alaskan CC, but in the last 2 weeks, I've got 3 mailers in my mailbox for a 30k offer to get one of these CC's, each with its unique referral code. Can I sign up for all 3 at the same time?
Reading thru the last 3 pages, seems folks are doing a 90 day wait between apps? Thing is, the 30k bonus will expire in early Dec.
Anyways, thoughts on my idea? Probably won't fly, correct?
