Not sure I guess - I looked back and the sale I was thinking of in July '18 was actually mid July. But, there does seem to be a trend in Holiday Sales recently (Halloween, Valentines Day), so we'll see.
OP, you might want to keep your eye on transcon I or P fares connecting somewhere south of PDX. You could get 22K miles for 2 r/t in F for PDX-LAX/SAN-BWI or similar. Still probably going to be closer to $2K, though.
