Welcome to FT! and points for last minute planning, Barringer777

Most discussion on ideas has been focused in http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...us-thread.html

The idea for using RDMs to buy PQMs is a no go --since http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...-annually.html

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...maximizer.html may be your last hope for doing something for that quantity of miles before the end of 2013 but expect to pay a pretty penny -- roughly 40+ cpPQM.

There may be a buy-up program in January but the limit in recent years has been 15K and it has not always been offered for 1K

Are you considering trying to actually fly some portion?
