Delta Pay with Miles Accrue on Alaska Airlines
I tried searching but was unable to find anything. I have some Skymiles leftover and wanted to book two one-ways SEA-JFK (for two people). I could use 50k miles and book them. But I was wondering if I could use 60k miles via Pay with Miles but then accrue the mileage earned onto AS? This is for a main cabin L ticket. Only reason for this is I am trying to earn MVP for next year.
I did find this on the Delta website but wanted to see if anyone tried accruing on a partner airline.
For travel prior to January 1, 2015: Pay with Miles tickets booked in Main Cabin are not eligible for mileage accrual and will not earn Medallion Qualification Miles (MQMs), Medallion Qualification Segments (MQSs) or Medallion Qualification Dollars (MQDs). Delta One™, First or Business Class tickets purchased through Pay with Miles are eligible for mileage accrual, MQMs and MQSs and will earn MQDs for the portion of the base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges remaining that is paid in currency after miles are applied to the ticket total.
For travel on or after January 1, 2015 (regardless of ticket purchase date): Pay with Miles tickets are eligible for MQMs and MQSs. In addition, Pay with Miles tickets will earn mileage and MQDs for the portion of the base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges remaining that is paid in currency after miles are applied to the ticket total.
Thank you in advance for your help.
