That's sort of a backwards way of looking at it...
It is destinations
less than 750 miles that earn the extra miles. Earning is always based on the distance flown -
however, when the distance is less than 750 miles, the distance is capped at 750.
For distances over 750, you get the "normal" amount based on the actual distance flown - for distances less than 750, you get (far) more than what you actually flew.
