Only 5 round trips? Hardly... Point values are assinged for each flight, you'll earn 2, 4, or 6 points each way, and it appears that connections are only counted as one "flight".

examples from the website:

JFK-BUF = 2 points
JFK-MSY = 4 points
ROC-FLL = 4 points (looks like a connection gets penalized)
JFK-OAK = 6 points
BTV-LGB = 6 points (again, connection penalty)

Booking online earns double points, you need a total of 100, so someone who flies between JFK and BUF frequently will need to fly 13 round trips to earn one free, if they book online.

In all honesty, I think we all expected better on this one, especially with the connection penalty. Southwest's program, with a credit is a credit, no matter the flight length, still works better.

here's a helpful link to more info...
