I agree with Snow Goose, you have to be more selective with the use of short haul flights. For me, I have used them last minute when fares were $500+ or during peak times of expensive routes (NYC-YUL/YYZ for example - of course, flexibility is important). Sounds like the extra points was in addition to the MLL program, so at least for the bonus miles, you still would get some benefit for them.
