If you're that close and you'd get actual value from A+, go do a same day turn somewhere. A Y + BS fare should get you fairly close. I'd do that in the next few weeks and get it out of the way, so that in December you're not trying to scramble and pick up some extra points when flights are fuller, the kettles are back etc.
