the answer seems to be Yes, as per

however, wondering if in practice the refund goes to the AS equivalent of a VX Travel Bank.
It only goes back to the original form of payment if you cancel within the first 24 hours. After that, for non-refundable tickets, while there is no cancellation fee assessed for Gold/75k or if it is more than 60 days prior to travel, the funds go into 'my wallet', which is AS' version of the VX Travel Bank or can be sent to you via a credit certificate to use on a future flight.
- Receive the value of a previously canceled ticket as credit certificates or My Wallet credit

We now offer you the option to receive a credit certificate on wholly unused nonrefundable tickets when canceling on alaskaair.com. A service fee will apply for each ticket being changed, plus payment of any difference between the value of your original ticket and the new fare. If you use part of your ticket, any remaining value is calculated against the flown portions of your trip.
