If you transfer your MR points to a FF program and then buy the ticket that way it is an award flight and will not accrue PQMs nor RDMs. If you buy the ticket through the AmEx travel portal and pay the bill with your MR points at the penny/point rate then it is a regular revenue ticket and it will accrue points like normal.
