It seems to be designed to use as much as possible from the wallet, with no override.
In your case, if you want to use $300 from the wallet, you could first book a $700 ticket with wallet credits then your actual credit with $300 wallet credit (+$200 from your credit card) and then you could cancel the $700 ticket.

curious: why would you want to use a credit card when you have wallet funds available? To meet a credit card spend minimum?

Flying on miles but because I used wallet for the small cash amount $11.21 (or whatever) Alaska wouldn't allow free checked bag. Paid for next reward fees and no issue with checking bag.

My partner, who has an Alaska CC in their name that I am primary owner, was flying after BOA/AS extended free checked bag to not just primary card holder reservations .

Interesting. That seems to be a data point for this discussion here that a ticket fully paid with wallet credit (and miles in your case) doesn’t give the card holder the free bag benefit.
