Booking One Way Delta with Alaska Miles

I tried to search but I didn't see anything relevant.

Looking for 2 tickets from CAE-DEN. I have enough delta miles for R/T for 1 and a O/W for another, but I'm 11,000 miles short for the 2 R/T tickets (they are 12.5k each way).

I have enough Alaska miles for a one way at the 12.5K level (with barely any to spare) but when I price it out it says the O/W is 25K (so no discount for O/W versus round-trip).

When I check the terms on Alaska Airlines it says "* Delta Air Lines and Korean Air do not offer one-way award levels. One-way Delta or Korean award bookings are charged the same number of miles as round-trip travel." Here: https://www.alaskaair.com/content/de...ch-awards.aspx

I believe this used to be true but Delta changed its rules last year with their restructuring to allow the half priced one-way. Has anyone had any luck booking a O/W flight on Delta using Alaska miles at the reduced rate or am I SOL?

Thanks!
