Thanks,

Yes you most definitely will get 75K. They just want to make sure you aren't trying to match from a status that was also a match and never flown on. For example using a United temporary elite status under a challenge and then trying to match to Alaska wouldn't work. But you clearly show that you do fly on AA. Also another important thing is to make sure your address in the MP account is in a state or region where Alaska flies. They won't grant a match if you are located in Australia or the UK etc because you aren't located in their network.

And as always make sure you want to use this match for 2017 as it can only be done once.
