You can run, but you'll just die tired...
My approach was a Delta Amex since I live near Atlanta and always fly Delta. I use flyer talk.com to find low cost “mileage run” flights on partner airlines that give large mileage bonuses (200%). For example on AeroMexico Atlanta to Mexico City (3 hr flight) business class was $530 with a nice mileage bonuses. In airport about 3 hours and flew back.

Obviously not everyone is interested or can do that but as you increase status, your point earnings increase. Can then use a mixture of points, cash, and global upgrade certificates (get 4 with Diamond status) to reduce cost of more expensive flight destinations.
