OP, have you tried asking for a one-time courtesy deposit of 19 points from customer service? Sure it's a long shot, and it depends on the reason you give and how you ask, and most importantly, your history with them, but it might be worth a shot. Costs very little for them and could pay them back as a show of good will, customer appreciation, etc. Be prepared for a gentle rejection but hey, why not try? Just as long as it's an earnest request and doesn't seem you're trying to be sneaky or entitled or demanding. I've had success with few-point deposits with a few other brands.
