No free upgrades unless OP-UPs come into play (in your favor). Chances are enhanced for PLTs vs GLDs. EQM are earned per BIS miles, w/500 mile minimum per segment for AA elites. RDM is the same formula with 100% bonus for PLTs/EXPs (1000 mile minimum per seqment). EQP is based off of original booking fare bucket.

4 500 mile stickers for 10K BIS miles flown. Counter resets at the beginning of March (i.e., if you flew 38500 miles b/w now and end of Feb, you'd only earn 3 X 4 500 mile stickers)
