Check out this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...+did+you+spend

There are several posters who claim to spend as little as $2500 - $3000. If you consider LGA-SFO-SYD is roughly 20k EQMs all it takes if 5 round-trips in the $600-$700 range to equal ~$3000. With vouchers and other certs you can bring that down even further.
