Also, it sure seems like this is something that should be documented somewhere on aa.com.



I haven't flown yet. I'm trying to compare the prospective earnings from booking directly with a partner vs. booking AA codeshares.
Yes, Base Miles, it's a multiplier (or divisor) on distance flown - .25 to 2.5.
Status Bonus is documented: https://www.aa.com/pubcontent//en_US...-statuses.html

There are calculators out there that do the hard work for you, including https://lpcalculator.com/#/calculator
