This said, I suspect since the OP is talking about rewards, in which case it's more or less a non-issue. Furthermore, talking rewards, there probably would be very few itineraries where this applies. Aren't rewards miles requirements normally based upon the point where the miles required are highest?
The point was more that airlines will go after people who abuse it (if they win or not still seems to be up for debate). AC has proven in the past it will go after people who seem to abuse the system (something about some kind of intoxicated package).
