You can redeem wallet credits at alaskaair.com on flights operated by Alaska Airlines (flights 1-1999, 2000-2999, and 3300-3499).
Wallet credits are a valid form of payment for any fare on any flight operated by Alaska Airlines.

The flights are AS64xx and AS65xx.

And yet wallet credit appears to be a valid payment option. I can select it, and the remaining balance due is $0. Will AS.com throw and error if I hit the Purchase Now button? I know I can cancel and get my funds back, but don’t want to do it just as a science experiment, and I am not ready yet to buy…

They have recently changed policy to allow wallet funds to be used for codeshares. I don't have the screenshot handy, but when you cancel a code share flight, they specifically note that these funds can be used for codeshares, when in the past they highlighted that you could not.
