Number 1 is explicitly prohibited by AA, but number 2 is sort of a gray area. I don't think you're technically doing anything wrong but I don't know if AA's Revenue Protection Unit will see it the same way, but then again I'm not even sure if number 2 is a pattern that they look for. Unfortunately, you won't be able to contact AA directly and ask if it's allowed and you won't find out if it isn't until you get an audit email.
