Doesn't seem to be what AA Twitter is saying...

"You'll earn 1.5 EQMs per mile flown." they told me.

To me, this means a 400-mile flight would earn 600 EQM, but a 240-mile flight would earn 500 EQM because 240 * 1.5 = 360, which is less than 500, so 500 min applies.

I asked for clarification. We'll see.
