Nope.

When renting in the U.S., debit and check cards may only be used in conjunction with proof of a round trip travel ticket (airline, cruise ship or train) at time of rental.

A debit/check card is considered to be any non-credit card bearing the VISA, MasterCard or Discover Card logo.

You've also got to have some kind of card to get a drink on Alaska Airlines. Poor kid behind me didn't have one last time I flew so I bought the lad a beer.

I think you will be like me when I first hit Alaska years ago....a 2 wk vacation turned into 3 months but could not convince hubby (who was home just started a new job) to sell everything, quit his job and fly up! damn should have done it!! I did not want to leave.
Best of times to you, safe trip and have a blast!!!
