Booking through AA.com flights

[flyinghightoday]

Been playing around with some prices to Orlando and SF with my partner, the QF website won't let me do multi city MEL-SFO-MCO-MEL yet the AA website will and gives a price of $1736 compared to Qantas $1800+

I'm not fussed about the points but more the status credits, will I be earning the basic amount of status credits for all legs?
All legs are AA flight numbers, even the Qantas flights.

If they are O or Q fares on AA flight numbers then you will earn neither points nor SC's on them.

Hmm well that changes things. I found this which I assume means it's booked in O class.

O class so no points or status credits for all except the AA215 flight which would earn status credits and points. The first letter of the fare basis tells you what class it is.

Thanks for clearing that one up, back to the drawing board!
