That will get you exactly there as long as you take into account 500 mile segment minimums, and any CoS and status bonuses depending on whether you're looking for PQM or RDM, since that's how it credits. The only time it doesn't credit on a segment by segment basis is when you have a direct flight and it's not split into its individual segments. When that happens, you only get miles from the origin to destination of the direct flight.
