Any tips on the cheapest (and easiest) way to make up a couple of hundred short?

As a side question I have "Current lifetime Status credits: 6,190" am I right in guessing that there is no real benefit of aiming to get an extra 810 SC's to achieve lifetime Silver recognition? Is it the same as normal Silver, which doesn't even give you lounge access?

They fly SYD-AKL-SYD all days except Wednesday.

80SCs each way. Total 160. for $701.00 return.

OOL-SYD-OOL on JQ full fare is AUD $279.00 and 20SCs each way.

OOL-SYD is available on some days in Star Class for $359.00 and 40SCs.
