Both posted as fare not by distance.
Update, AA does not believe flights booked through AA vacation is bulk fare. I called AAdvantage to ask for EQD credit by distance not by fare. Here is the AA's response:

"... We show that the correct miles were
posted to the account based on the fare used to purchase the ticket.
Even though these were bought from AA Vacations, it was a published fare
that was purchased. Not all trips purchased from AA Vacations are
special fares and earn based on distance. "

Should I keep trying?
