There are a couple days of $650 flights IAH-MUC available on NW/KL. They often involve an overnight at AMS. With the 500 mile minimum you should end up at just over 11K points for that run. Not necessarily the cheapest, but certainly pretty quick.
There are quicker turns on DL metal to STR/DUS at the same price point but those are 5100+ and 5300+ miles each way so you'll probably be a little short.
