Per this link to American's site, EQD on 'O' fares is equivalent to 10% of the distance flown (in this case, 17,000 miles).
I don’t fly American that much, so I hadn’t paid that much attention, but I don’t get why they call it EQD when it has nothing to do with D and everything g to do with M?

Possibly 10%, May post with the actual fare info passed in which it would earn very little as usual.
In cases where the fare information is not passed on, its an alternate way to calculate spend in its absence. Many programs are like that now. For instance DL & UA, partner flights are awarded as a percent of the fare.

You really think AA called up fareboom and said "we'll give you an exclusive on this"?
Just looked at the most recent poster's itin: 5-9 May LAX-HKG is $545 on ITA Matrix. YR is $114. I'm not saying good fares aren't good fares, I'm saying this one is an OTA glitch.

OP said "exclusive to fareboom" as it wasn't pricing out on AA or Google Flights. I've paid $300 to fly to SIN too, but booked on UA's site.
