It says it's targeted only to those who have received an e-mail directly from AA, but what about notification through Dealfinder? No idea how that works.
Tried pricing a couple of itins ORD-DFW-LGA-DFW-ORD and the prices are astronomical at the moment. Couldn't find a same-day turn, either.
Ah, well.
ETA: I realize I made a typo in the title. I have asked mods to fix.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MODERATOR'S NOTE
4/5/12 - Our friends at AmericanAirlines have just confirmed for us that the following routing rules apply to DFLGA ^:
•.LGA-DFW-LAX-DFW-LGA (roundtrip between LGA-LAX) - ELIGIBLE
• LGA-DFW-LAX-DFW-MIA (open jaw with only one LGA-DFW segment) - INELIGIBLE
•.LAX-DFW-LGA-DFW-SFO (open jaw with two LGA-DFW segments) - ELIGIBLE
So, as with related previous promotions, endpoints need not be LGA-DFW, but that segment must be included in both directions. Also, as stated in the T&C, open jaw itineraries are eligible, again, as long as the LGA-DFW segment is included in both directions.
Also, AmericanAirlines has confirmed that this offer is valid for recipients of the email ONLY. The brief DealFinder release was in error.

Double EQM LGA-DFW
I just commented somewhere that it would be nice if AA provided this kind of promotion. If wishes were horses we would all fly !
This just came in to me via email. Don't know who else received it, but it's nice for those who fly this route alot. Only downside for us on the east coast is the weekend mile runs LOL - happy flying !!

Cue the outrage from everyone who didn't get the email. And the tsunami of calls to AAdvantage from ineligible registrants asking if they're eligible anyway.

Setting aside your appallingly ambiguous grammar, so what? We all know that it's possible to register for every promo; that doesn't mean you actually qualify. I agree that it's a good idea to register because mistakes can happen, but why bother to make a confirmation post of what everybody already knows?

FAQ!
I propose a pre-emptive FAQ.
I got the email and registered. Do I get bonus EQM and RDM?
Just bonus EQM. No RDM.
Sweet, I'll finish my Platinum Challenge in half the time!
Hold your horses there, sport. This only gives you extra EQ miles, not points.
I didn't get the invitation email. Can I register?
You can go through the motions of registering, but you probably won't get the bonus miles.
What do you mean, "probably?"
Once in a while AA will screw up and give bonuses to ineligible registrants, but they've been pretty good about not doing that lately.
But I got a confirmation email, even though I was never invited to register!
Doesn't matter.
Should I call AA and ask if I'll get the bonus anyway?
You can call, but the answer will be "no."
I called and they said I wasn't eligible. Should I try calling again?
There's no law against wasting AA's time, I guess.
It looks like I'm ineligible. This is so unfair! No wonder AA is bankrupt!
You poor thing.
What about LGA-xxx-DFW-xxx-LGA?
No!

Well done! ^^ 
Although you forgot a couple:
I want to fly xxx-yyy-DFW-LGA-DFW-yyy-xxx; will this earn the double points?
Yes.
I want to fly aaa-bbb-DFW-LGA-DFW-bbb-aaa; will this count?
Yes.
I want to fly DFW-LGA-xxx-LGA-DFW; do I get the bonus?
Yes.

I didn't get the email but the offer is there under "Travel Deals" - "AAdvantage Bonus Offers" on my AA page.
Signed-up, hope it works.
