LGA-IAH-EWR-BQN (Z; x2 PQM), BQN-EWR-ORD-LGA (P; x1.5 PQM) for $822

Available Travel Dates: I can make most weekdays work
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay: I need anything that will give me united PQM

Route(s) You've Already Searched: I'm searching everyday but only finding things that are super $ like 3000+ but I think I'm just being a newb...
Do you have a Chinese Visa (Yes/No)? No

I am sitting in Jacksonville and have a flight home tomorrow (I already counted the PQM I'll earn from this in my total YTD)
The checkin process is offering me to buy miles and PQM.. for $1300 I can get 9000 PQM and 9000 award miles.

Wondering if there is a better option to go somewhere and earn the 11,998 PQM I need to keep 1K?
OR should I buy the $1300 PQM offer and then take a flight for the last few miles?

Have been a long time reader.. thanks in advance for anyone who can help.... I'll try and learn this better to start posting/contributing as well.

LGA-BQN, Z class outbound, P class return; 2x4400 +1.5x3000 = 13,300 PQM.
