Whats the best way to get this 500 to renew?

Thank you
As far as I am aware, the only way to get tier miles is to fly. Cant buy or transfer them.

There has been talk about EK being a bit lenient when you are very close to the required number of miles and maybe 500 is close enough.
And when I was just short of renewing Silver some time ago, they offered me an extra 2 months to collect those miles (was much more than in your case, over 3000 miles). So there are instances where 'just short' could be sufficient, but they are not 'official'.
