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.
SJC-SFO exists just as JFK-LGA does by public transport of some kind other then a flight

Again everything depends on what time the OP would arrive @ SJC, didnt think there was a SJC-LAX flight if there is then Id grab that if I can connect to a NY bound flight Both SFO & LAX have redeyes to IAH,JFK,EWR,IAD the only question is if it will amount to the same amount of EQMs as the OP would have earned, if yes or more then no prob, if no (LAX-IAH-LGA s/b < SJC-IAH-LGA) then will they get ORC or even need all of it. My Dec trip to SNA will have me ending up at just under 102k so I know if I hit irrops I can reroute within reason and still clear 1K. Dont know the OPs situation
