Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - CX H fares still earn AAdvantage EQM?

If you check out Cathay's website, do an itinerary and get shown the price screen (Under Get Fares & Enter Details), even if they show an H class fare for all segments, the website has a big X under where it says you earn AAdvantage miles. This seems to have coincided with Cathay's website upgrade and I chalked it up to a website malfunction or programming error. But this is still going on a month or so after the upgrade.

I called American AAdvantage support today and they said all H class fares still earn 100% AAdvantage miles and elite qualifying AAdvtange miles.

Has anyone else noticed this or had any trouble getting their AAdvantage EQM's recently?

I flew CX to HKG from LAX in March and that is how I earned platinum thru the challenge...one quick round trip ..... H class was the booking code...so I do not know if they changed their system...

It counted as EQM's....

H fares still earn full q-points. No change to that policy at all.

BTW, I just made a couple of coach bookings on Cathay-USA for the next few weeks and each time, the H fares had a check mark (not an "x") in the AAdvantage column.

Nothing to see here, folks. :)

Check out the following page to see the behavior I am talking about...

And you can do the searches yourself if you think I photoshoped the screen grab. This is from the main cathaypacific.com site.

The Cathay-USA site offers K fares on that same route and flights for $940 all inclusive which is useless to me...

As the others have said, more than likely it will be H.

Guess you can always take the flights and if AA don't post the miles -- complain. After all AA run their program not CX and AA's website is clear that it is an earning class....
