Transcon MR ex-NYC puzzle (min. 2500 miles with max. 5 stickers)

Since I have a free week, I'm thinking about doing 2 transcon RTs (same-day turnarounds but not necessarily nonstops) for 10K miles by January 31. SEA, SJC, LGB, SNA and SAN are all pricing out at about $220. However, all my routings either fall a few miles short of 2500, or require 6 stickers to upgrade. Using the 51-mile grace provision, can anyone come up with an ingenious 5-sticker routing that will yield a minimum of 2500 miles? It will save me having to purchase 4 extra stickers!
