I am currently AA EXP, but do not plan on getting any status for 2018. Main reasons are 1) not able to meet EQD requirement (no exemption for foreign address holder) and 2) only 4 SWU to earn. I plan on getting UA 1k for 2018.

Due to this decision, there isn't benefit for me to earn AA miles. That said, I just booked NRT-DFW-ATL on AA due to the extremely low fare, for myself and the wife and our daughter. It's O fare, which seems to earn 100% on EY.

So what I wish to do is 1) burn my SWU on this trip; 2) enjoy elite benefits for all of us in good Y seats; 3) earn milea on EY.

Can this be done?
