EQS question: same day turn on same flight number

I booked a round trip from Houston to Dallas with same day turn (30 min in Dallas) and just realized the return flight number is same as the outbound to Dallas. Will I still get 2 EQS since this isn't a connecting flight but a return flight for a round trip itinerary?

Yes. It doesn't matter that the flight numbers are the same; UA doesn't sell a IAH-IAH fare, anyway.

They absolutely do! Starts at about $3700 for YRWSPCL.

IAH-IAH and similar constructions are often permitted in routing rules, and direct flights count as only a single segment for that purpose. I've gotten crazy funny things to price out that way.
