Need some advice

I missed requalifying for FO by 3864 miles.

I don't fly a lot, usually a TPAC or TATL and a few other flights here and there.

I have been looking for cheap MRs to get the miles needed. I can get DTW-SJU for $232 (same day turn) and 3860 miles, or four miles short of FO.

1. If I take this run, will SM comp me the four miles, or at least the status for being that close?

2. The main benefit is for my TPAC is usually in the fall, and I want the preferred seating and the 50% mileage bonus on that 17,000 mile flight. Should I wait and see if there are better MRs during the year? Or wait for DEQM or some promotion?
