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.

But, of course, every bank is different, and that may not be how BofA does things.

The $100 credit offer is officially only available while buying a ticket on the Alaska website. The fact that it was copied to here (and has to be re-copied at times) by someone who was doing that doesn't mean that it's officially widely available or that it's available for "matching".
It is still going on only for those who are purchasing tickets on the Alaska website at the time they applied, officially. Why would they match it if you weren't doing that when you applied, and didn't take care to use the right link either?

I have the AS card since spring 2015. I have applied for the 2nd card 3 times since then. All denied. I get regular approvals from Citi, Chase and Amex.
Just closed original AS card. Will try again in a month or so and report back.

Actually, could you please complete your existing report right now? You didn't explain what reason BofA gave for each denial. Just knowing that you were denied doesn't explain much.

Can't believe how much of a stealing buying points is and then cashing in for partner redemptions. Had enough points in my account to book Emirates J from JFK-DXB-DAR and then I spent about $1,000 on points to cover the return journey.
How long is this going to last given the environment we're in?

Another is available immediately after purchasing an AS ticket. Here's the offer link for that offer. Note the wording "The $100 statement credit offer is not tied to the Alaska Airlines reservation that you just completed" on the offer page.
I applied through each of these offers a little over a month ago and was instantly approved for both. About 2 weeks after receiving my cards in the mail, I received a letter (one for each card) to remind me of the $100 statement credit.

My AF is due. Should I cancel and then re-apply? If so, how long should I wait. Or just apply first?
I only have one AS card open now.
I was hoping to get another now and then one more before the offer changes in a couple months. Is that possible?

I applied today using first link in wiki and approved only for 4k, last time I applied in April 15 for 3 cards and all approved over 5K. I cancelled one card in Jan 16 and reduced limit on other 2 cards to 2 K. Would I get 25K or less? Can I request to upgrade to signature card?
