Renewing MVP GOLD or option to purchase?

Okay so hear me out before getting mad at me haha because I know I should have planned it out beforehand and not leaving it up to chance.

So I was MVP Gold this year and I am trying to renew to MVP Gold next year and I am somewhat close.

Year-to-date Alaska miles
Flown: 25,568 miles
14,432 miles to Gold
Year-to-date Alaska/partner* qualifying miles
Flown: 34,280 miles
15,720 miles to Gold
Year-to-date Alaska/partner* qualifying segments
Flown: 39 miles
21 segments to Gold
Alaska miles toward million mile flyer Details
Flown: 84,956 miles
915,044 miles to go

So I live in Houston now (moved here for work with Marriott) and so now I am very limited in being able to earn Alaska Miles with only the IAH to SEA route.

I have one Sea to SFO round trip planned in about two weeks
One IAH to SEA round trip day trip (literally just to get me closer)
and One IAH to SEA on AA and then SEA to IAH on Alaska Airlines (Same reason haha)

Do you think Alaska would give me the option to either buy myself to MVP Gold or just bump me up if I asked nicely?

I asked on twitter and got this response "Hi Aj! Thanks for being Gold with us. I would recommend actually double checking how close you are at the end of this month and if you're pretty close, then you can contact our Mileage Plan team at 800-654-5669 to take a look at what kind of options (if available) we can offer. -Suli
