I went ahead and checked AAVacations (they won't sell you anything ex-HKG) and the Chase UR portal (you can get a similar fare on AA, but it's not a bulk ticket so it won't go off the special fares table). Not really useful.
What makes this fare, when booked on JL, earn a higher EQD amount, above the base fare amount? If it is triple EQD, and also about triple RDM, then it's worth taking a hit on EQMs, as they are the easiest to accumulate.
