Im seeing MIA-DFW-PVG on AA in PE from October 19-22 for $1100 but if I book via CC portal it isnt a Special Fare
That would earn 25k eqm and 3.4k eqd.
that kind of mileage with that budget is almost certainly Asia. Did you try AAVacations? Prices to China, since you're open, are in the ~$750 range for end of August. Including a hotel for 3 nights (the min), I got a special fare quote (O out and Q on the return) for $753 for 16,183 mi /EQMs and 1618 EQDs.
You could use that remaining $450 to either do another trip to China and blow out the EQDs and EQMs or a trip or two to LAX which are easy to find from MIA sub $250 (I did a quick search to verify). I see them all the time out of MCO.
