American AAdvantage/Alaska

An odd question…if booking a flight on Virgin America via the Alaska website can you accrue and use your Advantage number? It allows you to enter it in at booking if on the Alaska site so I am wondering if this is a workaround for getting credit on American as we do normally on Alaska but by flying Virgin metal nstead
