Using gift cards
 
I have $3100 in HA gift cards. If I buy 1st class ticket using gift card will I get status points or just appropriate air miles?

You will earn 1 SP per mile flown, doesn't matter how the ticket was paid for (or whether it was an award ticket).

If it's a paid First Class ticket you will also earn bonus points.

No bonus on award tickets in premium cabin.

Gift cards earn the same points as other payment options. They're effectively cash as far as the system is concerned.

Didn't want to create a brand new thread since it seems tangentially related: if I buy a HA gift card, I cannot use it on Alaska until April and vice versa, is that right?
