I read this: redeem a free trip for as few as 4,900 points. Earn a free flight after as few as 4 roundtrips, to mean that four roundtrips may generate the required 4,900 points, not that 4 roundtrips automatically qualifies for an award. However, it would look as if one transcontinental trip might generate 4,900 points because that is only $980 spend. Presumably this is for an economy class award.
