think you are right - makes sense to me... (I'll see it happen on my "Independence Day" travel on a YUP fare, my EXP qual legs this year.)
My question stems from my 1) ignorance, and 2) that a walk-up full Y fare can actually be twice as much as a YUP fare purchased in advance

You do get 1.5 qpoints, I'm starting the challange on june 16 and called AA and asked as I figured YUPs are the best way to finish the challange quickly. I'm getting 9,400 qpoints for $631, seems pretty good to me.
