Both for redepositing the miles to my Alaska if I cancel/switch to a day that requires fewer miles, or pulling additional miles from my Alaska account if I switch to an itinerary that costs more miles than the original booking.
You need to book the ticket using Alaska miles for a guest/someone else, then put in your information with your AA number. More likely than not they won't switch programs on an award ticket if your AS number is in there booked with AS miles.
