due to rearranging travel and losing a premium economy trip internationally, i'm going to be about 300 miles short of 75K.
are there any super cheap ways to get a few MQM without flying? MQD is no issue.
i can fly round trip to LAX for ~$110 and 4 hours of my time on a Saturday which I value at least at $100/hour. so, anything less than $500 is fine if it doesn't involve getting on a plane.
caveat, i don't want to get a credit card and have to spend my way to it, as i am currently spending my way to a bonus on my AMEX Plat which will take me into mid-December.
