It didn't work for me because she said AAnytime miles will not offer partner airlines and for us to fly SEA-LAX-MIA the SEA-LAX leg is only served by Alaska Airlines nonstop. However she was insistant that if using Saver miles and the Alaska leg was available, we would not be charged separately for each leg.

I played around on other dates and each time it did charge for both legs. Can anyone shed some light on how this might work?
