Currently booking a flight and found best prices on fareboom.com. Does anyone have any experience with using them? Will I be able to earn EQM' and EQD's with this fare on AA? And will I receive any EXP benefits if I book an AA or BA ticket with them?
TIA

Can you see the fare code or fare class for these flights?

The owner of fareboom.com used to be a travel reporter for CNN and has a good reputation. He also runs Best travel Store which has a physical location in California. He invested a lot in technology and that lead to fareboom.com. I did my research before booking with them!

Great experience with them. Have saved thousands of dollars. These generally credit as distance-based earnings and bulk fares.
Had an AC flight cancellation and after some back/forth with them they worked with AC to completely change the routing (broke the fare rules) and get us re-booked ... P --> D
no complaints!
