As I'm in the ORD AC completing my last MR for exp, this happens. Glad everyone gets to benefit from my bad luck. 
I've seen SFO more than I've ever wanted to. Looks like a DEL MR is in the works for January.

Ouch! Just got back from an SFO-FCO trip. Still, this is a very sweet offer.

I saw a couple posts about this but am still a but uncertain about a specific situation of mine.
I have a flight I purchased through Iberia but the first leg of it is on an American Airlines plane. Will I get the DEQM for that particular leg of the journey? I know you must fly AA metal but what happens if you booked through a partner?
Thanks!

AAdvantage promotion is valid for all travel on purchased, published fare tickets on American Airlines or American Eagle marketed and operated flights from December 13, 2011, through January 31, 2012.
Even so, you're only out 500 miles if you don't get DEQM for HNL-LIH-HNL. I would've really kicked myself if my BA-operated flights had been this week instead of last...

Would love some input on this one: Looking to maximize the DEQM promotion with a weekend mileage run. Can anyone recommend the longest economical non-stop routing from LAX to another destination? I'm thinking it's probably going to be Shanghai or Beijing, but I'm sure the experts know better than me.
I hate getting on/off the plane, so I'm sort of looking to book something international and long-distance, unless I can somehow fly from LAX-JFK and then head off to Asia. Thanks very much!

"Base" miles = actual flown, or 500 minimum?
Forgive the amateur terminology question, but: does the double base miles refer to the actual miles flown, or the actual minimum mileage per segment before non-eqm promos kick in?
For example, SFO-LAX is 338 miles, but I get 500 EQM normally due to the minimum segment size. With this promotion, would SFO-LAX be worth 676 miles, or 1000 miles?
Thanks much :-)

"Base" basically references the # of EQM you normally earn.
For the SFO-LAX example you cited:
A non-elite would be "actual flown" * 2. For elites, it's "500-mile min" (our base miles) * 2.
Short answer: 1000 miles

The DEQM systemwide can be combined with another promo, but the CA/IL/TX promo is the one that can't be combined with another promo, so I'd be 99% sure it can't be stacked. I've linked to the CA/IL/TX promo in this post here and requoted myself for anyone curious.
On the ORD/DFW-LAX/SFO promo signup page:
"This offer cannot be combined with other AAdvantage promotions. Registration prior to travel is required."

If it doesn't earn both bonuses, then the trip's a measly 37K EQM

Extra timely; was about to book travel for the New Year and was leaning heavily towards another carrier with a slightly better rate. Not a ghost of a chance of me booking with them now.

This sucks for all us hub AA Exec's
for all of us DFW people who qualify the 'old school' way by actually flying 100K - there are already to many Exec's out there to compete with.
