It's actually worse than this... elites earn 5 LP per dollar spent on the "package subtotal only", not the Taxes and Carrier Imposed Fees. On a $3917 vacation package [ ETA - for two travelers ], more than half ($2031) were "fees". So I earned 1886x5= 4715 LP plus the 30% bonus for being over 100k. Fare code was "O" for the outbound and P/H for the inbound. Understood the outbound wouldn't earn based on distance but was pretty sure the inbound should have earned additional LP. After two calls was told no AA Package flights earn miles/Loyalty Points. This is not clear on the booking page, and I am quite disappointed and will not use AA Vacations again.

That's not right.

I'm guessing there were two travelers? 4715 LP each.

Apologies, you are correct, for two travelers. I will edit my post. Thanks!

Then not giving you points for carrier imposed fees is definitely shady. Carrier imposed fees are part of the fare for all intents and purposes. Taxes are a different story.
