Thanks for confirming. I have no status with Alaska anyway but am purchasing miles quite frequently to redeem on some of the sweet spot routes in their award chart. 300% redeemable miles on longhaul (~13k miles return) J is incredible value, considering the earn rate is only 100-125% to most Oneworld partners on the same route.
