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.

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.

Yes it's easy. Here's a link to their freeze center.
It depends on your state. In Texas it's $10.83 to freeze or unfreeze your report.

BOA pulls EX for me and I've already got 9 pulls there. Nothing on TU and only 2 for EQ.

I don't think they care, they're making money every time you unfreeze/freeze it in most cases, and it's your credit file.

I've recently applied for this card and get a rejection notice. I've waited 90+ days in between applications. I wonder if BOA has a policy that's prevents churns...

I got a rejection letter too, but I have 15 new accounts in the last 6 months, and the reason for denial was too many new accounts in last 6 months.

I'm discouraged by what I've read. I was JUST getting ready to apply for my second AS personal card but now I'm concerned about doing so! Guess I'll need to see some additional data points.

Ok, I'll pile on. I think something has changed this week. On Monday I was denied after calling in. Why? Because of too many recent inquiries! B of A hasn't been giving that reason...ever! This would have been my 3rd personal. And I have less inquiries this year than the past 2 years.
Look, I've been applying every 3 months for years. I reduce the CL to $2000, make the spend, get a new card. Clockwork. Now this.
The gig is up!

I spent $1018 a few weeks ago and my statement closed on the 9th. I received the 30k bonus points, but there's no sign of the $100 credit anywhere and the $75 AF was charged. Do I need to make some more purchases for it to trigger? I thought $1,000 was the threshold to trigger the $100 statement credit. App says 8-12 weeks, but from what I've read it should be pretty quick.
