Yes, Alaska Airlines miles can be transferred, but there are specific rules and limitations to keep in mind.
You can transfer miles between accounts, but both accounts must be in the same name. This means you can share your miles with family members or close friends only if they’re listed on your account as authorized users.
There’s a fee associated with transferring miles. The cost is typically $10 for every 1,000 miles transferred. This can add up quickly if you’re transferring a significant amount.
