AndrewShih, welcome to FlyerTalk! You are correct that you get a minimum of 500 Q-miles and 500 Q-points on any flight less than 500 miles. For flights more than 500 miles, you'll get 0.5 Q-point per mile flown (in most but not all cases this is the same as Q-miles). Some fares don't give you 100% miles, so there is a subtle difference here.
FewMiles..
I was just seriously wondering, eg, for a flight of 748 miles, the q-points is a mere 374? Or is there always a minimum of 500 q-points regardless of actual distance flown?
Seems strange that a shorter flight of less than 500 miles accrues more q-points than one that's more than 500 miles.
