I did something like this with both PMCO & PMUA and got ORC, but who knows what COdbaUA will do

It will be on your own dime SJC-SFO and JFK-LGA
SJC-SFO does not exist, but to craz' point, I would suggest either SJC to LAX or somewhere else and then back to JFK, LGA, or EWR. And then calculate which route gives the most miles.

You have lots of options here. I would not give up the trip in vain.

You might be able to add a lot of 500 mile trips that will bump up your total....like a true MR would do.

Let us know how you make out.
