I will not do this again. Happy to stop in MSP and have a one hour layover and go into National rather than nonstop to IAD as the miles are pretty much equally worthless. And on paid F, I got about the actual miles flown which in the greater scheme of things is simply not worth the hassle. I'll continue to fly UAL from PDX-ORD but no more transcontinental....
