You get the mileage based on distance from origin to destination, not the total of the segments, i.e. in your case you get the direct SAN-ORD mileage, not SAN-IAH + IAH-ORD. Sorry.</font>
Well, I guess I will try standing by for an earlier or later flight so that I get two separate flight numbers to maximize my miles.
Wish I had known that earlier! Oh well, you live, you learn!

Thanks for the input, everyone.
