O fare. For $167 all in, found a routing that gets you ~7350 EQM, ~15,700 total miles (AA.com + PLT bonuses), and it qualifies for AAWCB. Hope you can fly on a weekday in January

Amazingly enough, I just found it cheaper than before... $158 all in, same EQM. Fly out Jan 10, 17, 18, or 25. ITA is your friend. HINT: there are *3* connection cities.

The fare on NW has been around for quite awhile and makes for a nice little (no-minimum stay) run. I am flying IND-LAS-MSP-IND on Tuesday (spending 13 hours in LAS) and the ticket cost $137 all-in. Many dates are available.
And yes, I know I could have gotten more miles out of my run, but I only needed a few and didn't want to waste too much time.

That promo is only for flights departing or arriving into Washington, Oregon, or California.

Clearly, the itinerary posted by the OP is something along the lines of IND-ORD-SEA-LAX-LAS and return which would certainly earn lots of west coast bonuses.

Read on, bucko:
1) Round-trip travel is defined as two one-way trips on nonstop flights between the designated cities, booked in a single reservation under one ticket number.
2) To qualify, the round-trip* (see #1 for definition of "round-trip") must depart from and return to the same city or co-terminal (meaning, one of the West Coast cities).
3) A maximum of one round-trip is permitted per reservation. (so, only 1 bonus at a time)
emphasis added

Hypothetical: Flying ORD-DEN-LAX-DFW-STL-JFK-LAX-DEN-ORD would qualify because there is DEN-LAX and a matching LAX-DEN leg in there. As long as it's on AA metal, it's fine. (Notice, however, this would not qualify for AADEN, since that promo specifically says that the flight must ORIGINATE or TERMINATE in DEN).
So, in the above post, as long as ORD-SEA and SEA-ORD are on AA, ^.

The UA promo actually spells out that connecting service does not apply. AA's definition says what I copied from your post (which is above).
