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:
  • $50 per company, $25 per card (Business Level Earning Plan)
    • $0 per company, $75 per card (Individual Level Earning Plan)


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.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reconsideration # (for personal cards):

1-800-354-0401 (8am-7pm ET Mon-Fri) direct, referring agent from another BofA line called it their "credit department"

1-866-811-4108 from the Alaska Airlines Visa thread post 949


Business card Recon Line:
866-695-6598 (8-7 EST M-F from what I was told)

Biz card status line: 888 663 6262
Biz Card credit analyst line: 877 665 5022, 877 665 5023 (seems to be non-working number)


Check application status online here:
https://www.bankofamerica.com/credit...status-form.go

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

So why worry about whether the bank can use the same pull, if both apps are being handled on the same day?
I've searched comments but to be clear----pulls from biz card and personal card apps on the same day are not combined, ie: they are from different entities (BA and FIA I think).

Also is 3 personals at one time considered the limit still as it was 1 year ago when I got 3? Max # of biz apps? I guess one just applies as many times as you get approved in one day.

3 personal at one time is pushing it, this is what led to shut downs last year, why don't you just get one personal and one business

Applied 2nd AS, (1st one still open, applied Oct 2015). Surprised that it was not auto proved. Checked the status today, it was approved. But no info as for the CL. Login to BoA, no new card info yet. Not sure if the approved was for >$5000 or the lower one.

Applied 12:15AM ET 8/18, but app status says applied 8/17. Hesitate to apply another one as it may not be the same day for credit pull.

Wondering if a # I can call to get the new card info?

You can call 1-800-354-0401 (this number is also in the wiki) to ask about credit limit and Visa Signature.

Any luck on getting the miles to post to your account? I'm still waiting for mine, usually it's posted on or before I physically received the card. For this new offer I have the card in hand for about 3 weeks, with minimum spend met (received $100 credit), but miles still no where to be seen.

Got all my miles and credit and companion ticket. Apparently it prices on a Sunday after the next statement closes or something.

I'd say 3 personal in one day is auto banned. I got 2, but I was super lucky.

With this new offer they'll post the Sunday after your statement closes.

What is the churning period for these cards? And how come the info from post #3688 isn't in the wiki?

Also, what kind of purchases qualify for the $100 credit?

Thanks.
I've moved information regarding that post (about applying for a personal card) to a more prominent spot in the wiki.

Do you close your previous cards before applying again?
