If points are your aim , 1 RTW DONE3 can re-qualify you for BA Gold. You can have 6 segments in the USA. You are limited to 1 trans-con from certain cities. There are always several 1 stop flights over 2000 miles that are not subject to these rules. You just have to find them . For example you could fly MIA-JAC-MIA-JAC-MIA-JAC-MIA this summer as there is 1 stop service both ways and are fairly nice to visit.
