Alaska Airlines card question

I need some additional alaska airline miles to top off an award. I was thinking about getting the alaska airline card. Anyone know how long it would take the bonus to post to my alaska airline account once I meet the spend requirement?

Mine posted within 3 business days of the close of my statement that I made the spend.

How long did it take to receive your card and do you know if it can be expedited? Trying to get miles to redeem for early july so its a bit tight.

Good news: you have time, especially if you're instantly approved. Mine arrived 10 days after approval and reported a total of 39 days after that.

Bad news: I don't think points earned from anything other than flying count for status if that's what you're shooting for. They're only good for redemption as far as I can tell.

I just need the points for redemption. I didn't really want to app for another card since I have apped for like 3 or 4 lately, but this one card will make the difference in terms of my redemption. I also closed two cards recently as well so I have been giving back credit lately and I do not have any BoA cards. I'm not currently carrying any balances so I guess it will be fine. Anyone know who BoA pulls?

I applied and recently was approved for this card. They pulled Experian for my application.
