10/03/2021 AMERICAN AIRLINES Flight 2289 LAX MIA Credited 586 733 1,319
10/03/2021 AMERICAN AIRLINES Flight 2493 MIA BWI Credited 237 888 1,125
On the LAX-MIA flight you were on an O or Q fare class that earned 25% EQM. On the MIA-BWI flight, the multiplier yielded less than 500 miles so you earned the 500 EQM minimum.
LAX-MIA 2344 × 0.25 = 586 EQM, 75K Elite RDM bonus is 125%, 586 × 1.25 = 733, Total RDM 586+733 = 1319.
MIA-BWI 946 miles × 0.25 = 237. 500 EQM minimum applied, 75K RDM Elite bonus is 625 (500 min × 1.25) for a total of 1125 RDM.
