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.

Also, if I have cards that have no balance a particular month, it still says my payment of $0.00 is overdue! )

Data Point: two browsers trick still works
Applied for the AMEX platinum 100k yesterday, and got instant approve. Decided to do a little app-o-rama as well. Applied for Alaska Air credit cards in two browsers (one in incognito mode). Both instant approval as well, and I got two distinct account numbers. Was going to wait for the 30K offer. But this turned out working just fine.

If you'd have read back a ways on this thread, you would have seen the thing to do in your case is to immediately reapply, since doing that the same day means the HPs will combine and only register as one. The second app almost never goes thru, at which point you would call Recon and have a good chance of getting the pending app to be approved as a Sig card. Following which you cancel the Plat card from the first app. To have this work with a total of one HP, all of the steps have to be done the same day. And during regular business hours, since B/A Recon keeps "bankers hours".

I'm planning to test the 2 browser method at the end of the month for my second and third personal cards.

I hit one submit first, got instant approval, then sent the second submit. I don't think it is any loophole. The BoA system will allow the second application. Other post has indicated that you can send the second application within the same business day. Though you may not necessarily got instant approval on the second one.
