An additional 20K RDMs if a United Chase card is used to buy tickets from United brings the total RDMs to 130K, but if the total budget is $10K a portion of that will be spent on taxes that do not earn RDMs (unless OP is somehow tax exempt). And the FTD deal is $3K cheaper and doesn't even require flying anywhere.
