Do I earn any EQDs for a Cape Air segment part of AAitinerary?
If I buy a Business class R/T ticket SEA->SJU->SEA for $1522, AA.com tells me I will earn 15296 EQMs and 1458 EQDs. That is just enough EQMs to meet the challenge requirements for Platinum status but 42 EQDs short of the challenge req's. If I make the ticket open-jaw so it's SEA-MIA-SJU-CPX / SJU-MIA-SEA (adding a 31-minute Economy Cape Air segment SJU-CPX), it increases the price to $1591, but now AA.com does not report how many EQMs or EQDs will be earned. Will I earn at least 42 additional EQDs for this higher priced ticket (that will count toward a status challenge)?
