2 questions:

1) Is there a minimum number of miles per segment? (I have a few short distance connections - currently planning as actual but would change things if a minimum exists)
2) Is there a better / more accurate source for estimated mileage than airmilescalculator to use for estimating BIS miles?

Thanks in advance for any help
minimum 500 miles per segment if you have Premier status

i use air miles calculator and have never had issues with it besides rarely being off +/- 1 mile
