ANC to MSP is only $160, and yields 5348 mqms, 3 CPM, so to get to ANC is the only issue. Actually, wherever your based, get to ANC and you can do that run a few times. But for Chicago, I found:

First trip $411
DEC 4 ORD>DTW>SEA>ANC DL 2060, DL 935, DL 1699
DEC 6 ANC>SEA>MSP>MDW DL 822, DL 2318, DL 5794

Second trip is the ANC MSP leg $160
Dec 4 ANC >MSP, DL 1088
Dec 5 MSP >SEA >ANC DL 589, DL 2423 (or 1699)

The *only* thing with this is because you're booking 2 separate flights, if you get delayed on the MSP > ANC leg, I don't know how well they will handle rebooking your ANC >MDW. Does anyone have experience with delayed flight and missing the 2nd flight?
I think you are making this too hard. You can do a weekend run out and back Sat-Sun for 5CPM dead even. Better choice IMO.
