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

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.

Please do call, probably tomorrow rather than Sunday, and find out what's going on. I had thought that a Bus card could be issued as either a Plat or a Sig, but the other day sdsearch asserted it could only be issued as a Sig. I've never known sdsearch to be wrong, but I suppose there could always be a first time. 
Recall that the personal card was the first one to get a 30k with $1k spend requirement offer first, and the business card offer with those terms only appeared later.

Please read more carefully. The OP here is not talking about a $1000 Cl. The OP is talking about having singed up for the business 30k offer with $1k spend required, but BoF telling him he signed up for the business 25k offer with no spend required. I't' not a Sig vs Plat issue, it's a new offer vs old offer issue.

Looking to rebuild my Alaska stash. As of early last month I had 3 AS cards (2 personal, 1 biz). I closed 1 personal and 1 biz last month, so still have 1 active. Not a ton of open CL with BoA, about $11k across 3 cards, 1 AS card and 2 other BoA cards. Anybody have thoughts on my chances of auto approval?

Does anyone know how BoA handles multiple businesses for the business card? I have a couple of different businesses with pretty high revenues. Could I apply for personal, business A, and business B every 90 days?

Hit my $1000 spend on 6/26 and I still don't have the 30k miles in my AS account, nor has the $100 statement credit hit. I remember the credit taking longer on my previous card, but I don't recall bonus miles taking this long to post. Has anyone else experienced this? My MP account shows activity on the day the card was opened, but is displaying 0 miles.

For anyone who received the recent promo by (targeted?) email on their BoA AS CC of "spend $250, get a $50 credit on your next AS flight," this will post 2-3 cycles after the close of the promotion period says the CSR I spoke with yesterday.
The BoA CSR originally could not find the promo, then said it was a me/AS discussion and did not involve BoA, then eventually transferred me to a supervisor who confirmed the promo was active on my account...I have a feeling I'll be chasing this down again in 2 months.

Anyone has any data as to the income threshold BOA consider worthy of a signature card? My daughter who just started working a few months ago is interested in applying. Credit score decent around 760.

The bonus on your previous card was associated with account approval/opening as opposed to a spending requirement so it seems logical that you would've received it quicker. Did you actually spend at least $1000 not including the $75 annual fee? Has your statement closed yet for the period in which the $1000 spending requirement was reached?

Anybody have thoughts on my question above, re auto approval?
Also is there a published end date for the 30k offer? I didn't see one on the application
