It seems to me that you are not doing the milage run, but you are flying whatever you need (so ignore the comments of others about doing a segment run).

I would follow Jainzar's advice. If you don't need your points then start to use them to upgrade via plusgrade on points (online, not at the airport -- the website is a bit hard to find, but it is somewhere hidden on sas.dk) . The minimum price is 5000 points per segment, but you earn 1500 as silver on each of these, so effectively it costs you only 3500 points per segment. If you have points banked up, and you don't want to use them otherwise you will attain status much faster than via segments.

I do the same even though I already am EBG. I detest mileage runs as not worth my time, this allows me to secure status extensions without mileage runs. I find the points worth less than my time.
