2.would American have an issue if all of my future trips were booked on Special Fares?
1. yes

2. no

However, the only way to ensure your AA fare is a Special Fare is to ensure it falls into one of the categories AA lists for them:

Examples:

Bulk fares
Cruise fares
Consolidator fares
Discounted or inclusive tour packages
Vacation packages, including American Airlines Vacations® (AAV) packages
Other tickets where the fare isn't disclosed, excluding bookings made through priceline.com or hotwire.com where the carrier isn't disclosed before buying
