I Met 1K PQM back in July. Was $4K shy of $12K PQD but had several peronal trips to Asia planned . Mostly use Cheap Coach fares out of PDX then pay Biz on the trip back to be rested. RT usually comes in around $2300-$2800 so took 2 trips to meet PQD on my own dime. Corporate travel usually gets me there on both PQM/PQD but not in 2017. I'll be pulling a couple more corp trips next year so hopefully will be better. Currently burning some award miles and enjoying the holiday in HK.
