Yes but the * only shows up on the AA vacations site. If you are booking through another OTA there is no way to tell if your fare will credit as a special fare or regular one. You can make educated guesses but until you fly it you will not be sure.

If you book through a traditional TA they should be able to tell you if they are selling you a bulk fare or not. But OTAs will obscure this; you will get a bundle but you won't know how it was put together. It could be a regular fare bundled with a good deal that a hotel sold them.
