Looking for day trips and weekend trips out of HOU or IAH I need 10k mqms and have a budget of less than $800. Any suggestions?

FRA is available for a few days for $449, this will probably be available for a couple hours at most -

Departure Airport: ORD
Miles Needed: ~6000
Required Spend or Budget: under 1k
Available Travel Dates: Most of Nov & Dec - Open
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: Delta Preferred
My dad is a few short to renew PM and figured someone on here would have something easy enough to grab the status. He might be able to procure via work travel but currently just a bit short.

12k MQM needed to hit PM
Departure Airport: ATL
Miles Needed: ~12,000
Required Spend or Budget: under 1k
Available Travel Dates: Most of Nov & Dec - Open
Required Metal or Codeshares okay: Delta Preferred; don't really care as long as I earn MQM and RDM.
I need 12k MQM to reach PM. Very flexible with travel dates.
Would prefer to knock as much of it out in one trip as possible, for as little out of pocket as possible.
Departing from ATL airport.
I will be paying with miles (Amex benefit), so am interested in fare classes that will recoup some of the RDMs used to book the flight.

FRA from ORD is $429, almost every day. I suspect this won't last long.

Ended up being around $1k total for ~13k mqm. Have overnights in Vegas and San Fran, which are always fun.
The ATL-AMS-DOH would have been a little more efficient, but a couple hundred more to have half the trip in first class was worth it to me.
