I was digging in to the 14 day stopover limit in the booking engine. I found good news and possibly bad news searching with Google.

The good: In the Mileage Plan™ terms and conditions on the desktop website the stopover policy is still the same. Stopover allowed. No limit on duration:

Redeeming miles for flights
Mileage Plan awards may include one of the following: a one-way, round-trip or open jaw itinerary. One enroute stopover at an eligible city may be allowed for each one-way award on eligible international itineraries. An exception allowing an otherwise-illegal open jaw trip is permitted when travel is between the State of Alaska and the lower 48 states and a stopover occurs in Southeast Alaska. When award travel is redeemed solely on Alaska Airlines, one enroute stopover is allowed for each one-way award. One enroute stopover is allowed on a one-way award. Round-trip itineraries with 2 stopovers, or one-way awards with 1 stopover may only be booked through an Alaska Airlines call center. They are not available online. Call center ticketing fees apply.
However, the possibly bad, on what I gather is the mobile site Terms & conditions for joining Mileage Plan (Red bolding mine):

Redeeming Mileage Plan™ Miles
Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan™ awards may include one of the following: a one-way, round-trip or open jaw itinerary. One en-route stopover at an eligible city is allowed on round-trip itineraries. Stopovers are not allowed on one-way awards. An exception allowing an otherwise-illegal open jaw trip is permitted when travel is between the State of Alaska and the lower 48 states and a stopover occurs in Southeast Alaska.
Do you think this is an error? Applies to domestic only? I hope it's not a peek into the future.
