The Alaska Airlines Visa Business Card is now offering an increased welcome offer of 42,000 miles (and the usual $99 + taxes companion fare) after spending $2,000 in the first 90 days. That’s an increase of a couple thousand miles. Given how valuable Alaska miles are, every little bit counts. Furthermore, some people are reporting receiving a second offer letter after approval to get $100 back after spending $500 on the card, so it may get even better (but YMMV).

Quick Thoughts
Again, Alaska miles are particularly valuable, making every extra bit you can squeeze out of the offer well worthwhile. The previous 40K offer was the highest we’d seen in my recollection. While this is only a couple thousand more miles, I’d always rather have more miles.
Keep in mind that BOA has been more finicky in approving business applications over the past couple of years. For example, even though my wife has business accounts with Chase, Amex, and Citi, BOA wanted her to open a CD in order to get approval for the Alaska business Visa (which she declined to do). I’ve heard of similar reports from others. This offer wouldn’t count against 5/24, so it certainly may be worth pursuing, but it may not be smooth sailing for approval.
