EQD on tickets with Visa $100 discount?

I searched in the various credit card threads and couldn't find an answer.

I have the Ritz Carlton visa from Chase that offers $100 off two or more domestic round trip tickets tickets:

https://www.visadiscountair.com/ritzcarltoncard/terms

Does anyone know if tickets purchased through this service earn EQDs on AA flights? Do they earn at full price, or full price minus $100?

TIA

This is likely a “special fare” situation. I can’t imagine AA will credit EQD after the discount. AA "Special Fare" (AA Vacations, TYP, MR, etc.) Questions, EQD, Issues (merged)

AA awards full EQD on these tickets (pre-discount).

Sorry to seem obtuse, but what does "full EQD" mean here? Does that mean the expenditure-based EQD for whatever the fare basis ended up being? I'm trying to figure out where I will be with respect to the AA-Hyatt 90-day challenge, and was just burned by the Special Fare (non-)consideration I have received for AA ticket purchases involving Citi TYPs.

In my experience, I have always received EQD's based upon the price of the ticket without a deduction for the Visa discount of $100.00, which you receive when buying two tickets.
