Depending on booking class, Looks like such tikcets are treated as special fares or as unavalable and credited based on mileage

DCA-HPN is 234 miles

H class and lower special fares/ O,G class where fare is unavailable earn 50% of mileage flown , which is 117

Then EP bonus of 141 applied to that , giving a total earning of 258
