Earning AA miles on Alaska metal
I'm an AA Gold flying SEA-PDX-SEA next week on Alaska Airlines (AS 3330 & 1901.)
Some Alaska flights on some schedules seem to have random AA code-shares (not these specifically but others in this city pair are listed as AA).
Can't see the pattern & can't definitively tell if I'll get AA segment or mileage credit if I submit my AA #.
Any predictions from the FT board?

There's a dedicated forum for this, but the short answer is, you can only earn miles if booked as an AA codeshare.

You cannot earn AA miles on an AS flight if booked with the AS flight number
(I miss the partnership, especially for seat assignments, preboard, and checked bags)

As this iteration of the AA/AS partnership is now defunct, this thread will be closed.
The subsequent iteration of the partnership (and current one as of early 2022) is discussed here.
