Question about where to buy

AA.com does not offer the fare for sale.

On RJ's website, they do offer the fare but they specifically say "NO MILES". I do not know what fare code it books into, if you buy it directly from RJ.

This fare is for the non-stop ORD-AMM for $499 round trip. It's supposed to earn EQD at 10% of miles flown, which will be about $1250 EQD for a $499 ticket.

Question: Will it really book into 'L' (as Orbitz and matrix.itasoftware.com claim)? Will it really earn AA miles and EQD?
I'm curious if I purchased this flight on RJ through another carrier with a code share agreement, would I get the EQDs (from American) specified in the chart for RJ or the marketing partner?
