To my knowledge everyone has always earned miles when flying with RSSC. I saw a small disclaimer on some information once that did state that air purchased from a cruise line may not qualify. However, to my knowledge miles have always be earned.
Redeeming miles for an upgrade on a Radisson fare is another matter. Normally cannot be done. The codes of service they use are usually do not qualify for an upgrade.
We did earn miles when we used RSSC Air years ago and Marc has recent experiences.
As far as upgrades, I believe that Alaska (and Canada) are considered under the domestic rules and not International rules. So at least for Delta, Northwest, and Continental passengers, elite level upgrades should be applicable towards the flight (at the appropriate upgrade window). However, at least for Delta, upgrades with miles will probably not be possible because of the fare basis that is booked by Radisson.
