I managed to grab a low-tier F r/t award to SEA on AS in March. I am wondering what folks know about lounge access?

AS web site says "First Class perks - Enjoy free Alaska Lounge access with a purchased First Class ticket."

I get that if one is an MVP and is traveling on a comp upgrade, they wouldn't get lounge access. Does a miles redemption via DL count as a 'purchased ticket'? My guess is yes, but so far haven't found info on the Alaska web site.

Frankly, on a nonstop like this, it doesn't matter that much, but I might want to have a look around or a snack prior to boarding. If the answer is no, its no biggie.

Edit: if the answer is yes, does it work at the United club at MSP as the partner facility? Thx.
