This is correct and for those of us living in "gateway" cities... is like 2 free 1/2 round trips. Here's what I was thinking of doing:

Newark - Jackson Hole ($219 in Y / Purchased Ticket)
[Stop]
Jackson Hole - Newark (F Award Ticket #1)
[Stop]
New York - Hong Kong (F Award Ticket #1)
[Stop]
Hong Kong - New York (F Award Ticket #2)
[Stop]
New York (LaGuardia) - Eagle, CO (F Award Ticket #2)
[Stop]
Eagle, CO - New York ($219 in Y / Purchased Ticket)
