It's not oneworld policy, it's AS policy. I've never had this issue with any other oneworld airline. The accusation of "double dipping on benefits" is laughable.
Is it double dipping on benefits if you book an award ticket on another program and not use their frequent flyer number on there? Should Alaska elites be allowed lounge access if they booked a ticket using Avios or AAdvantage miles? What about upgrades using SWUs or GUFs?
