How does this change if it's paid first class (Alaska metal), or paid Qatar business class (partner) - any EQM bonuses here due to 75k status?
WillTravel4Food covers it well but the only thing I'd add that you might not be aware of is Alaska's minimum 500 miles for short flights. Even on a 180 mile flight (PDX>SEA for example) you get 500 EQM and RDM (+ any elite bonus on RDMs)
