N. B. Earning AAdvantage miles flying on EY and other non-oneworld operated flights as a QANTAS codeshare / marketed flight is an exception to oneworld rules that essentially state that to earn miles one must fly a oneworld marketed flight operated by a oneworld airline. See post #4 for more.
Earn elite-qualifying AAdvantage miles when you fly on Qantas marketed and operated flights as well as Qantas Airways codeshare flights. Exception for Jetstar operated flights which are ineligible. Link.
Simply:
To reiterate: one may earn AAdvantage miles flying an Emirates (or Air Fiji, Air Tahiti Nui, etc.) operated flight if it is marketed by QANTAS / a Qantas codeshare.
Exceptions to the exception
Qantas codeshare flights operated by Jetstar are ineligible for any AAdvantage mile accrual or elite credit.

Simply:
- Buy an eligible published fare ticket booked in an eligible code
- Fly an eligible route
- Specific flights, routes or cities that are excluded from earning miles or award travel are listed as exceptions if applicable.

Thread retitled, wiki added, as this is definitely a "yes" and applies to other Qantas codeshares operated by such non-oneworld airlines as Air Fiji, etc. as explained in post #4.

Oddly, if the exception about not earning miles on Qantas-marketed, Jetstar-operated flights is correct, that means the only QF-coded flights you wouldn't earn miles on are the ones operated by their subsidiary.

Yep, seems I was wrong. I checked the chart and did not read it as meaning all QF-marketed flights, but that seems to be the consensus on the thread.

OTOH, much greater legroom for some seats than QF.

Hello,
Does anybody have experience with QF flights operated by Emirates counting towards AA Status Challenge (Sept 2015), as described in this thread:

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find the answer when running a few searches.
The consensus on this board seems to be that all QF marketed flights, even operated by EK, would earn EQM. However, there is indicated "on eligible routes" and these are defined as being:
Earn and redeem AAdvantage® miles for travel on Qantas within and between:
Australia
New Zealand
South Pacific
And between the South Pacific and:
U.S.
Asia
Africa
Europe
So what about QF marketed and EK operated LON-DXB? Afaik there is no trace about a route Europe-Middle East?
And would it make any difference to just book it as QF marketed and operated (afaik there is a QF operated one).

I will begin with a moment of silence for all of the dead horses which have been beaten as a result of this thread..............thank you.
I received a reply from AA's Twitter team stating that:
"@Brinks101 Travel on QF marketed flights operated by Emirates wouldn't earn EQMs, either. See http://bit.ly/ACCRUEQF for more info."
Is this another instance of FT knowing better than AA employees or has something changed? I am looking to book LHR-DXB-SYD in Biz and want to make sure I don't miss out on the EQMs. My corporate booking engine is forcing QF LHR-DXB and EY DXB-SYD, and of course would prefer the EY seat/experience/etc. if possible.
Thanks!

Short answer is, yes.
However, I don't blame you at all for having trepidation since it's hard to get the correct answer. Them sending you a link to AA.com shows they didn't put any time into getting a real answer-- not surprisingly to a degree since one might *assume* AA.com has accurate, up-to-date info, haha.
If you take it to DM with them, I'll PM you the name of an AA person who has definitively confirmed this information and also PM you the names of people at AA social media who will understand you're serious about getting a real answer.
(and, you mean EK not EY)

Thanks JonNYC! Amazingly I received a follow up response, unprompted, from the @AmericanAir team later that day confirming what you said. Not sure if you had anything to do with that. Will let you know if I need those AA contacts another time.
Thanks again!
(yikes, please excuse my EK/EY snafu and appreciate you holding off burning the newbie for it)
