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.

Just signed up for the 30k miles. I'm looking for a wiki about this card re: churnability.

This is the first card I have seen so far (I am relatively new to this, of course) that has a $99 companion certificate issued without a spend requirement nor having to wait until your first anniversary - this says if you get the Visa Sig version of the card you'll get your 30K miles and your $99 companion cert. upon approval (1-2 wks for the 30K miles). That is quite nice.
It also has a vague reference to Alaska Airlines Boardroom Passes, but I"m not sure whether this is an added free perk to the card, or what.
Now I must research whether these are transferable miles, and/or whether I have the ability to utilize this airline. ^
edit - I see, I cannot transfer these out to other programs by the looks of it (aside from via points.com, of course) but I CAN use the miles on AA or DL. It also says I can EARN elite qualifying miles with AS when I fly on AA or DL... now I am curious whether I must do something special in order to make the miles post.. whether I will get miles for both AA and AS when I fly on AA, etc.
FT : Educating THrough Encouraging Research .. ETHER... whoa man, deep. :P

Then there's award flights on partners. The online booking portal is a pain, although it has gotten better than it was. They show extremely limited availability on partners, and you cannot check availability on partner carriers to airports AS metal don't fly to, so you essentially have to call the AS Partner Desk for international availability. Partner Desk # is 800 445 4435.

Right now I have two BoA AS Visa opened. Do I need to cancel any of the card before the churn?

Held card previously from 8/2012 to 10/4/2013. Canceled when they couldn't convert me to a no fee card (long story, bad CSR). Applied again on 11/23 and instantly approved. Have an award flight to SAN to book and am watching the pot waiting on my miles and companion cert to post. Checked my records and my previous card app was on 8/12/12 with miles and cert. posting on 8/15/12. Now getting concerned that I won't get the bonus this time around...
Anyone been approved for a card and not gotten the bonus?
