Those on their employers Dime will do an MR or 2 if they see they will fall short but close to the $10K mark, but most likely will simply UPfare a trip simply to avoid having to do an MR
i guess i have been doing it wrong all these years - i spend well over $10K on my own dime each year for my travel - it isnt in pursuit of 1K - i spend the money because i want to go places. all along i have not been concerned with this spend requirement - my normal patterns would qualify me.
and yes, if for some reason at the end of the year i was short $50 - i would buy a higher fare (doing a dollar run) - it is plain dumb to pass up the GPUs because you were $50 short...
