AAdvantage Minimum Miles (EQM) Guarantee

See here on aa.com for information.

Quote:

AAdvantage® members have a base of 500 EQMs for flights under 500 miles on American and oneworld® airlines (250 EQMs for flights under 500 miles on Basic Economy fares). To calculate final EQMs earned, the multiplier for airline and booking code flown is applied to this base.

Previously, "Elite members will earn at least 500 base EQMs for flights under 500 miles on American Airlines and American Eagle (including codeshare flights booked as an American Airlines flight number), oneworld® airlines and Alaska Airlines."

Also see the partner airline's page on AA.com. E.g. here on the BA page on AA.com for the statement:
