Any guidance?
I'd look for a RT flight to MKE or another airport that's <500 miles away; You'll get 500-mile minimums on each leg and likely pay less than $200. Alternatively, you can book a miniscule one-way, pay for the Premier Accelerator and then cancel the flight (ideally within 24 hours for no cost).
Side note: This may be obvious, but make sure you're over $10K PQD spend for the year, otherwise you won't get 1K.
