By my calculations this would not hold true for "someone who does not fly for business but only for vacations BUT does spend >$500,000 on credit card". The program doesn't scale up well, as I tried to explain here...

...and even buying airline tickets for companions it would surely be difficult to generate 500,000 flight points per year. I expect the average points per dollar would drop well below two.
