I am sure there is likely a simple answer to this, but is the best way to achieve this to simply look for the cheapest flight I can find? I believe every segment gets 500 MQM minimum so a round trip ticket gets me what I need?

Any websites that are helpful? Also, if anyone is familiar with best routes out of DTW, that is likely where I would fly from.
If you're going to do this, plan a fun weekend someplace (warm?) or perhaps try to maximize the number of MQMs earned for roughly what you're spending, in order to go into next year with some rollover.
