Or better yet, if you were only 6K from MVP, I would have found a relatively inexpensive MR to fill the gap....a single transcon with a connection in PDX or SEA could easily take care of that. There are quite a few of us AS elites that earn 0 miles from work-related travel and basically earn status 100% from mileage runs and personal travel.
