There are a few charts for depending when you travel. For this MR, they should all fall under the last chart (linked above) which states within S America s,n,q,o,g,a earn 100% if international. If you are flying within Brazil, then yes, I believe it would only earn partial mileage.

US to South America is always 100% AA, but intra South America is 25% on some fares, which was not the case in this sale, I saw B and Y fare on intra flight which will earn 100%.

Anyway, this sale is gone.

LAN site allows for seat changes but not for requesting of special meal or entering of FF#.
Anyone know where else this can be done? Don't feel like dealing with their call center

That is incorrect. It states that flights between South American countries on an O ticket are 25 %. All other intnl fares are 100%. I flew just this fare under this same mileage structure, and I got 25% for LIM IGU. I won't press the point, though, folks will get what they get.

From recent experience, after calling LAN, waiting for the options as I do not have a LANPass #, and pressing 4 for "other", it took less than a minute to speak with a LAN agent. Called last night and early this morning.

How do I book this?

I'm seeing people posting this route "I got $352 JFK-SCL-GRU-IGU-GRU-LIM-JFK for $355 all on LAN"

But HOW do I book this many cities and dates?! Can anyone help me out?! Big thanks.

Deal is dead now anyway so doesn't matter anymore

MODS: can you mark this as dead and move it to other forum? Also, possible to start a wiki with dates?

Stop posting. Just stop. See my posts 44 and 75. Flights to/from Brazil allow booking B, which earns 100%.

Code:
 VIA LA  Y     REQUIRED      WITHIN BRAZIL                   
 VIA LA  B     REQUIRED      O- FARES  BETWEEN BRAZIL-SOUTH

Well then, that will be great.

I was able to add my FF# using the Qatar site.

My TAM flights have LAN flight numbers so didn't get TAM conf #. LAN doesn't work on QR site
