I've got an email from American saying that INTRA-Continental flights count.
Here is the e-mail I got from AAdvantage Customer service:

Thank you for visiting the American Airlines Web site and for the e-mail message you sent to AAdvantage Customer Service.

In response to your questions regarding the oneworld "Visit the Continents" promotion, I am happy to provide the following information:

1. "Visit the Continents" is a promotion provided by American Airlines AAdvantage. In order to earn the bonus miles, the required travel would have to be posted to the AAdvantage account. Members cannot have flights posted to more than one frequent flyer account. You would need to check with each of the oneworld partners to see if they are running a similar promotion. Keep in mind their promotion may have different restrictions than ours.

2. Travel within the continent is excluded from the promotion. You must leave one continent and travel to another continent for eligibility. The continent count is based on the location of each arrival city. i.e. Chile to the United States and back to Chile would count as two continents.

3. Stop overs are not necessary.

4. All qualifying AAdvantage mileage on a oneworld carrier counts toward the promotion. Your flight must be marketed and operated by a oneworld airline to be eligible. Flights must be eligible for mileage accrual to the AAdvantage program to count. Each oneworld carrier has specific restrictions for qualifying mileage. You may check this information on our Web site at www.aa.com. Under the AAdvantage section go to Earning Miles, then Earning Miles On Airlines, then click on the appropriate carrier.

5. Each AAdvantage member must register before his travel. Contact AAdvantage Customer Service at 1-800-882-8880, and request to be placed on promotion OWCON.

6. Travel on subsidiary airlines of oneworld are not eligible toward the promotion. Your flight must be marketed and operated by the oneworld carrier.

We appreciate your business and hope you will continue to travel with us often.

Regards,

Brent L. Scaff
AAdvantage Customer Service

So here we go with conflicting messages from the airlines.

IN OTHER WORDS MAKE SURE YOU GET CONFIRMATION FROM THE AIRLINES BEFORE YOU TRY FOR THE BONUS.
