1. If I book on Qatar Airways website, am I able to get AAdvantage miles? I'm looking at taking a trip to AMD, and the AA website does not offer the flight I want. I'm not sure why, but on Qatar Airways there is a flight I'd like from MIA-DOH-AMD, but that's not available on AA.com. AA only has at least 2 stops, and they're much more expensive. Also, I've been trying to search to redeem miles, and I am getting an error message.

Yes, you will earn AA miles for QR flights booked on the QR website as long as its an eligible fare class. You just add your AA number at booking.

AA.com will never show you all the flight options that may be available, especially an itinerary like this that that doesn't involve AA at all.
