Really? I just returned from my trip using the same C2 - C3 trick. I got myself a "connecting" flight leaving the Kingdom within <8h so I was only transiting. No one wanted to see the ticket at check-in but they had to do a manual override in their system that asked for a Saudi visa.
At the gate I called and cancelled my connecting flight. Needless to say that this second ticket was not booked with lifemiles...
