More than 4 flights on alaska.com multi-city possible?

Is it possible to book more than 4 flights on this?
I wanted to use my 10% off coupon on a 6 day (6 segment trip).
The terms and conditions say on the website only but can the MVP75 book this on the phone?

Are you trying to book six legs with stopovers between each leg or just six segments total? Each of the four legs in the multi city search can have more than one segment depending on availability/route/fare rules.

6 segments total - but I want to break ANC-SEA in JNU on the same day.
Itin would look this like.
DCA-SEA
SEA-JNU
JNU-ANC
ANC-JNU
JNU-SEA
SEA-DCA
I would like to keep it on my record so I can use my Insider 10% off coupon.
The terms and conditions say the phone reps can't do it - only alaskaair.com.

Multi city but your fare is going to break in JNU each way. That's the only way to book on AS site based on test bookings
DCA-ANC offers the best option for earning and that is DCA-LAX-PDX/SEA-ANC

But it only has 4 blocks anyway and I need 6 - no way to expand it? Correct?

Nope. You will likely have to call and forfeit the discount.

Essentially, what you are trying to construct is a DCA-JUN return with a JUN-ANC side trip. You mentioned 6 segments over 6 days but it is unclear if you are doing any stopovers enroute.

The multi-city tool is designed for more complex itineraries than a simple one-way or return. You can construct itineraries with open jaws, double open jaws, stopovers at intermediate points, fly into one city & fly out of a co-terminal as well as circle trips and side trips amoung others.

You are limited to 4 city pairs in the multi-city search tool but you can achieve what you are looking for by making your 4 city pairs, DCA-JUN, JUN-ANC, ANC-JUN, JUN-DCA. Just don't be surprised if the fare is significantly higher even after a 10% discount.
