Would this be combinable with the STL, RDU etc deal?

I would say
STL-JFK 892 mi base rdm+1,784 stl bonus rdm+892 mi base eqm+892 mi stl bonus eqm= 2,676 rdm+1,784 eqm
JFK-BCN 3,831 mi base rdm+7,662 stl bonus rdm+3,831 jfk bonus rdm+3,831 mi base eqm+3,831 mi stl bonus eqm= 15,324 rdm+ 7,662 eqm

2,676 rdm+1,784 eqm+15,324 rdm+ 7,662 eqm= 18,000 rdm + 9,446 eqm each way x 2 = 36,000 rdm + 18,892 eqm round trip.

Plus of course you can earn much more with creative routing like STL-DFW-MIA-ORD-JFK-BCN, etc...
Anyone want to check my numbers?

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Do these bonuses apply with RTW tickets? Would the double the points for the whole ticket or just that leg? If it is the whole thing.... can I stack it? Get double for going to St Lious and double for Dallas and double for Europe for a total of a gazillian miles?

For example stack it with: http://www.aa.com/viewPromotionDetails.do?fN=qf-promo-1110.xml&_locale=en_US

Travel Perth > ... > Syd/Mlb > Lax > ... > STL > ... > Pittsburg > ... >Paris will you get double + triple + triple + double (=x36)?

If so I think someone may hit a million miles in just one trip.

What do you mean RTW? award travel?
Then the answer is "no", because we can double and triple 0, but its still 0; you don't earn miles on award tickets.
For example stack it with: http://www.aa.com/viewPromotionDetails.do?fN=qf-promo-1110.xml&_locale=en_US

Travel Perth > ... > Syd/Mlb > Lax > ... > STL > ... > Pittsburg > ... >Paris will you get double + triple + triple + double (=x36)?

If so I think someone may hit a million miles in just one trip.
Just to point out, the T&Cs of the Qantas promo clearly state dates that are a couple months off from the STL promo date.
And no, they don't multiply times each other, just times base miles.
And flying from STL-PIT will not gain that much more then STL-PHL on AA, because the T&Cs clearly state that travel has to originate and terminate in either city, so you can only get the bonus one time.

As a general rule, until you see a twenty page thread on it, there isn't a cheap way to get 1 million miles.

RTW = Round The World

You know those tickets that only cost $3300 if started in Israel and come with 16 segments.

on AA?
with full mileage earning?
And even if it is on AA and you get mileage, its probably still not worth it, because it has to start in Israel, so the only bonus would be the TATL segments at double which isn't really all that kdai: ORD-CDG is 4152 miles. multiply that by 14 segments (two to get to CDG from TLV) and you get 58,128. Double that for the promo puts you at 116,256. add 4086 for the TLV-CDG and CDG-TLV segments, and you get 120,342 RDM for $3300 and we haven't even added taxes.
EQUALS:
not worth it.

btw you can do it all backwards TLV > ... > Paris > some US cities > Australia. If you have a long enough stop over in the US you can stack. If you must start in St Lious for the triple points to apply then start there.
