It should be noted that the only way to get exactly 750 Q-points (short of a posting error) under these parameters is for the flight to be exactly 500 miles long. Q-points are a function of the actual miles flown times the multiplier, which is then rounded to the minimum, not the minimum miles times the multiplier.
