Should've taken a screen shot with the asterisks.

My understanding is that you get 5 base miles per dollar spent (assuming that you have status) and that's it. Am I missing something?

Yep, under the new AA Vacations earning scheme you earn miles/LP based on the total package price but the individual flights will earn zero. Whether it was an I or I* is irrelevant now.
