500 minimum miles per flight?
 
When searching if 500 minimum miles were awarded for each segment I found this, "Effective for travel on or after Jan. 1, 2009, OnePass members will earn the actual miles flown rather than a minimum of 500 miles per flight for tickets purchased on or after Nov. 15, 2008. OnePass Elite members are exempt from this change."

What does the last part mean? Are they still giving you 500 minimum if I'm elite or the actual miles flown? I have a few puddle jumpers coming up which could actually make the difference for my status next year.

Elites receive 500 minimum per segment. GMs receive actual miles flown.

that's exactly what'd happened to me. A 100 miles flight from MSN to ORD earned me 500 miles plus elite bonus.

Yes you will get a minimum of 500 EQMs, you'll also receive 500 base RDMs, since you're CO Gold you'll also get 500 bonus RDMs

If you're Y or B (or one of the first class), I believe you also get 750 EQM? Does the 1.25 multiplier for RDM still apply if it is a J/C/D?

As a segment flier that rarely gets a flight over 500 miles, or even 300 ;)
I have never bought JCD, but I would think it would since you get the 500 minimum on just about everything except the Presidental Plus 25% bonus. They give that on the actual flight miles.
