Dollar breakdown on multiple segments.

I need 161 EQDs to qualify for EP in 2019. I just made a four segment trip that brokedown like this. LAX-CLT $122, CLT-SAV $13, SAV-MIA $59 & MIA-LAX 302 for the total of my ticket $496. How is this figured?
I have an upcoming trip LAX-BOS that begins in 2018 and returns in 2019 so I am worried that my one way to BOS will not be enough to satisfy the 161 I need to qualify.

Help.

I dont know, but it looks like the outbound is prorated based on distance: LAX-CLT is 90.9% of the outbound distance (2125/2338 miles = $122/$135), and SAV-MIA is 15.8% of the return distance (440/2781 = 59/361), each to within 1% or so (presumably rounding error or AA using slightly different distances than gcmap.com gave me).

The inbound and outbound are broken down based on the respective fares; do you have the fare breakdown for the LAX-BOS and BOS-LAX tickets? If not, if the outbound is in a higher fare bucket than the return, its a good (though not certain) bet that the outbound is more than half the EQDs and vice versa.
