On Flyertalk, yes. But Virgin America's FF program awards points based on published fare (http://www.virginamerica.com/va/elevateMemberGuide.do).

There's speculation on the JetBlue forum that Southwest may be considering the same thing (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/12146930-post5.html). Singapore Airlines' best perks are reserved for PPS members who spend at least S$25,000 on business or first class fares - (http://www.singaporeair.com/saa/en_U...ps.jsp#Header3)

I'm sure those who want to will be able to do mileage runs for some time, but I wouldn't be surprised to see more airlines incorporate similar principles into their FF programs.
