If you are flying PE and the chart is special fare, 20% of miles means....
Let's say you fly a route that gcmap says is 1000 miles and cost you $367. Your EQD earnings will be 20% of the miles (1000) which is 200 EQDs. Your EQMs will be 1.5x miles flown (1000) for 1,500 EQMs. Note that the fare ($367) does not factor in to either calculation.

And perhaps you already know this, but $2500 spent on AA will be <$2500 EQD since you have to take out the taxes/fees, which for intl could be around $100 or more, depending on destination & routing.

Thank you to FlyerTalk -- as always - with a little digging and helpful hints -- I found an easier solution.
DFW-DOH-BKK - and back on Qatar Airways - Business - Cyber Monday sale - $2824 - all in. Not too shabby.
Thanks again.

It is a combo trip. Part for me to explore that part of the world. Part to visit two friends of mine who are missionaries in the respective cities - Chiang Mai and Phnm Penh.
The fare are over - I bought mine on Priceline - and now ads pop up all the time for Qatar Airways - so I will keep an eye out for others. It will be interesting to see if the EQMs and EQDs post as I think they will. This is the first time for me to try something like this.
FT is quite the help.

I still see this out of LAS for $2400.
Having never done AA Vacations, how would this credit, assuming no status? My parents would fly to PEK and take the minimum hotel stay (3 nights) then go on to Vietnam and return to PEK for another 3 night stay then back to LAS. Since the hotel stay won’t match the trip length, if I understand the rules, they would not be eligible for the 20k bonus.
Is it possible to book through AA vacations and credit to AS? How would that work as well, assuming no status? I assume it’s better to credit to Alaska if possible.
Thanks
