The hold is valid until Sunday, but I am afraid I won't have the 2,000 miles by that day. I am waiting for a credit which I can only retroclaim next Wednesday and I will travel again next Monday (worth around 30,000 miles)

I don't want to loose my hold booking as these are the last seats available (4 persons in C for travel end of the year).

So my questions:
- is there any way that I can quickly get 2,000 miles extra in my account? I can transfer from almost every hotel program, but this will almost surely take more time
- will they allow a one-time extension of the hold period?

FWIW: I am holding SEN status for 6 years and earn around 150,000 miles/year
