So you are in some sort of status fast track promotion? What is the specific wording in the promo? Often they will require a certain number of one-way's or roundtrip's instead of individual segments which count towards MQS for qualifying the normal way.

SEA and/or some of the cities served by DL out of SEA so you could do SFO-SEA-XXX-SEA-SFO.
Another option is SAN as you could do SFO-LAX-SAN-LAX-SFO and get your 4 segments quickly.
You can also go to Google flights and put in SFO/SJC/OAK and leave the destination blank, just put in a date and see what pops up as cheapest and look for a city you know would require a connection to get there and back.

Sevastras found the answer here. More generally, if you're going for segments, look from SJC. You'll typically find flights priced to compete with WN and AS to places like MFR, GEG, or PDX. These flights will have a connection, giving you four segments at <$50/segment. If you're looking for $/mile, I've found flights to UA hubs out of SFO to be very competitively priced. Try to get the typical 1x/day 764 to JFK -- with 40 D1 seats, good chance of an upgrade!

OP indicates he requires two roundtrips and it's part of a promo (not normal segment qualification). So this would only count towards one roundtrip, (or two one-way's). I would definitely not rely on this meeting the promo requirements and suggest OP schedule two roundtrip's on non-stop routes to be safe.

Thanks for all the replies. It is this offer https://loyaltylobby.com/2017/11/05/...tober-31-2018/
Do I need segments or trips? I am not sure but I would guess A-B-C-B-A only counts for a round-trip or two single?
