The Q points are on the miles you earn - so you only earnt 300 so at 1EQM/miles it would give you 300 EQMs or if you were very deep discount at 0.5 EQM it would have been less.
I think you're missing the point. I understand perfectly well how things are
supposed to work. When you fly BRS-GLA, does your YTD Elite Qualifying Points counter increase by 125 or 500? I think the experience of most people is that it increases by 500. But at the same time, AA seems to have an internal counter only available to AAdvantage reps that will only increase by 125. Hence the title of this thread questioning whether the AA.com counters are accurate.
