I really want to say, I HATE DEQM.

Just cancel the ticket and rebook the trip. You should get the double EQM/RDM if it is a different record locator. In 2010, I re-booked 2 trips to qualify for a DBEQM promotion. However, in one of them, the agent re-used the same old PNR and I did not get the double miles. Lesson learned: whatever you do, just make sure you get a new PNR ticket on or after October 27.
In my case, I did end up getting the double miles after I complained that I was assured I would qualify for the promotion by the agent who rebooked my trip.

Would the DFW-SFO segment of a DFW - SFO - SEA R/T count?

My friend in the Bay Area got the email and is excited. Already had 2 SFO-ORD flights planned to visit a friend. DEQM/RDM is a bonus for her. Thankfully she is a lowly GLD and won't be stealing upgrades from me.

She won't get deqm for those flights though. Is she planning a few more?

Just in time, AA sale on SAT-LAX fares. $84 each way is a good deal with this bonus.

Yes, as long as you return SFO-DFW and SFO is not a stopover on a single flight number from DFW-SEA or v.v.
Beware of this! I almost missed my status last year because I flew to SFO-FLL via DFW and didn't realize it was one flight number and not allowed. Fortunately I had in writing that it would qualify, from an agent that didn't know any better. Took a couple conversations with the executive office to make it happen, though.

The terms say that only registration prior to travel is required, not registration prior to booking like it did on the last DEQM promo.
Does this mean that rebooking is not necessary for people with existing itineraries?

How often does AA check accounts for the double eqm promos? Say I do a qualifying r/t the third week of December and AA doesn't check for the double eqm promo until midway January 2012. Will the double eqms post for the previous year or apply towards the 2012-2013 count?
I'm just worried that if they don't sweep the accounts before the years end, this may all be worthless towards my current milage count for status in 2012.
