I need to get about $1500 EQD equivalents. Is there anyway for me to use the vacation fare technique to get enhanced EQDs the same way I see someone getting enhanced EQMs?

(Apologize in advance if this is a stupid question but I am not a high mileage/dollar spender on AA).
The fares are almost all O* . This is what AA deems a "special fare" in which your EQD's are based on distance and not spend. Just like if you booked travel with a One World partner and credited to Aadvantage. The vacations team are pretty helpful if you call them. They will verify your earnings before booking.

I did verify yesterday that this vacation can be booked multiple times as I personally am planning on booking it 3 times.
