I'm sorry, but it's worth asking. For a long time, I have booked domestic through a student travel consolidator that (continues to) assure me that any tickets they sell me on AA do not earn miles (this is in fact prominently displayed on the receipt/itinerary they give me). Without fail, the miles post to my AA account.

In the Priceline case, it is common knowledge here on FT that NYOP tickets do, in fact, not earn miles -- but I don't fault OP for asking. I might fault him for not searching first, though
