RCC VISA $200 fee reimbursement suggestions

I don't want to hijack this thread, but my wife and I were just approved for RC Visas which just came in the mail. Wow; they look like birthday presents! In any case, coincidentally, we have a vacation trip booked straddling 2012/2013 (leaving 12/25 returning 1/1/13) and I wanted to ask everyone's advice on the most efficient way to use $200 airline credit (we can end up with equivalent of $800 for the two of us). I understand we can apply baggage fees (we are flying Virgin America; they charge $25 per checked bag). We can also have a few drinks during the flight. In addition, I may try to get a better seat (my understanding is that upgrades are covered?). What else can we do? Does shopping the inflight catalog count? What about Duty Free since this is international? Any other suggestions?

Thanks!
