UA:$325 DEN-EWR 3557PQM or UA:$479 DEN-SJU 6424PQM

Required Spend or Maximum Budget (choose one, and state the value): Ideally under $300 if possible - we have both hit our respective PQD
Available Travel Dates: 12/8 to 12/18 and 12/26-12/28
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay: Yes
Route(s) You've Already Searched: DEN-FLL, DEN-MCO
Do you have a Chinese Visa (Yes/No)? No

As mentioned, the 3400 is the higher priority, but if there is a cheaper or equally priced option out there that achieves 6001 miles then my wife said she'd be interested in doing a mileage run with me. And a day trip is preferred as opposed to an overnight stay anywhere.
Neither of these requires an overnight stay:
