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.

Has everyone else been getting 3x or 2x miles for AS tickets purchased? I thought I was supposed to get 3x but I only got 2x miles for a ticket I bought last month.

I would assume that it posts as 1x for everything (including AS purchases), and then a separate 2x bonus for AS purchases. Which would add up to 3x, but only if you find the 1x and add it to the 2x.
(I can't be sure, because I haven't made an AS purchase with an AS card yet, but that's the way it works on most of my other airline and hotel cards with purchases that earn more than 1x.)

Are you sure? Did you buy anything else that month?

Anybody ever try doing a 3-br0wser method? I know 2B M seems to work here, just curious how it scales.
Already have 1 hit from ~3 months ago, thinking of trying this out soon. Anyone?

Attempted a 2BM for my wife last week, with instant approval for one and pending 30 day decision for the other. Letter came today that second request was cancelled because they felt it was duplicate. Any recourse? My wife will not want to explain to BofA rep why she wants duplicate card (besides miles).

Have there been any better offers recently for the biz version of the card aside from the 25000 miles-1st purchase/$75 annual fee/no statement credit offer that's there now? My personal Alaska card expires next month and wanted to get the biz one before I cancel that one in my next round of apps. But wanted to see if it's worth waiting at all for a potential better offer. Applied for the personal one last year in December for the 50k offer.

does anyone know if BofA allows credit line consolidation (when closing CCs) like Chase does?
esp if they happened to steal some CL from a prev (older) card to open the newer anyways (on their own, without even involving me.)

How long does it take for the 25k miles to post? I applied for my wife on 10/22, and haven't gotten the miles yet. The statement hasn't closed yet, but I remember the miles posting well before the statement closes in the past.

I think mine posted around the time I activated my card, before I made any purchase.
