i believe that if you use MR points to purchase tickets at the AMEX MR OTA (admittedly at a measly .01/mile) that the purchase registers as a revenue ticket, and thus qualifies for EQM credit - if that's your goal, that's good.

An awards ticket purchased with transfer points from MR would earn no EQM.
