Good suggestions and heads up from all. My understanding of the way miles are transferred is that as long as the ticket shows an AA flight number and a eligible fare class miles(unfortunately rarely tier points) will be awarded (as long as the flight is not a transatlantic).

Unfortunately the Boston Phoenix RT for $138 will not work as it is carries an L fare basis which does not earn any miles otherwise it would be the way to go.
