If I drop S from the query, cheapest is V at $1623; still not to be sneezed at.

The T&Cs say the bonus is for nonstop travel TPAC so it wouldn't apply to intra-Asia flights. However there is another offer JPS15 which covers those albeit with some windows in mid Feb (around CNY) where it's a no-go.
