I think the last time I looked it was 10k miles or 15k miles. Thanks!
You can only buy PQM and RDM only after you buy the ticket and it gets confirmed and ticketed. I think that is what you are asking.
Typically if you hold a status of Platinum and above, you will see higher mileage offers (10k/15K). It also depends on distance of your original flight.
One way to get smaller offers is to book a short distance award ticket (eg: IST-ATH/ EWR-BOS). The mileage offers will be in the 1000/2000/5000 range. Once you buy the PQM and RDM, you can cancel and redeposit the award.
