that makes perfect sense. that is what I try to accomplish by sending points towards my Alaska Airlines account, but my only issue is with reward points that I will be earning on American Airlines from an all inclusive resort I booked. I will essentially have miles in American Airlines and Alaskan Airlines. Maybe I can earn miles on Alaska Airlines even though the all inclusive is booked through American Airlines. They are partners
