The calculator has often been out of date or incorrect. The eligible fare class tables are the main reference and usually correct.

QR R is listed in the tables for example. There are several airlines that have deep discount economy fares that do not earn on BAEC, QF is another example. So I would also suspect that as it is not listed it will not earn anything if credited to BAEC.

Also, LAN A does show as eligible for AAdvantage: https://www.aa.com/i18n/AAdvantage/e...rlines/lan.jsp
