However, it earns 100% EQMs, which is how most fares are judged here. If you buy a lot of full fare or pay for first or business class, then the EQPs earned are more important. For many looking in this forum, the EQMs are more important, and the forum has generally posted fares based on the EQMs.

Correct, the fare earns 50% EQPs, and the cpp (cents per point) is 4.1 with the double miles/double points promo.

AA: BOS-SJC $248 RT AI 4.13 cpm BIS (2.07 cpm with AATHX promo)
Route through DFW both ways. Decided to post at least one, normally kinda decent, MR currently available out of BOS that becomes a bit stronger with the new AATHX promo: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...ec-2012-a.html. I'm trying to post only 3.5 cpm and less now that the fares are generally better than during the summer.
Dates are mostly very late November up to December 14th to hit the promo dates; both Saturday and Sunday same day turns (although all day long affairs using a same plane turn at SJC) are available. No SJC-DFW redeye flight so most runs may require a night stay.

Looking at this route for my first MR. Question: will 40 min enough to catch the return flight at SJC for a same date return? When you said "same plane turn at SJC" does that mean it's going to be the same aircraft back and forth between DWF and SJC? If so, then the short period wouldn't be a problem. Not sure how to check the route of the aircraft...
Just to note, the fare has gone up to $272 RT.

AA only flies mainline to SJC from ORD and DFW, so most of the planes would fly, say, DFW-SJC, then fly right back SJC-DFW. I looked at the schedule for a couple of different days, and everything is definitely a same day turn. DFW-SJC seems to be all MD-80s, while ORD-SJC is a 738. LAX-SJC is a regional jet. You could also use a service such as Flight Aware, put in the flight number of the return flight, then see where the inbound plane comes from.

The return flight seems to be DWF-SJC-CLT
If the aircraft won't be staying in SJC overnight, looks like the same aircraft flying?
Yeah the price increased but still a decent deal with 5% off. This will make us PLT.

Yes, that is how it will likely go. I have two same plane returns (I know it is the same plane because AA flies to destination exactly twice per day) and will be doing that.
