If you’re crediting to AA and flying an AA flight number then frequent flyer earning is based on fare paid.
If you’re crediting to AA and flying a non-AA flight number then frequent flyer earning is based on distance flown.
With this fare, earning based on fare paid is a lot less lucrative than earning based on distance flown when crediting to AA.
In your case as you’re crediting to CX, CX rules apply and so this won’t be as much of a difference for you.
In you’re case as you’re crediting to CX then frequent flyer earning is based on the CX rules which means it will be distance based and will make little to no difference to your frequent flyer earnings.
