If you choose this route, make sure to either book the AA codeshare or the QF fare class that credits 100%.
The AA challenge ONLY works with an AA flight number. A QF flight number will not.

Its AA that is stingy, not QF. If AA wanted it could give its AA frequent flyers 100,000 AA miles for the lowest QF fare bucket USA - Aust.
