Will UA bump him to 1K as a courtesy? Any other thoughts?
There is a very real possibility (but no guarantee) UA will bump him up to 1K as a courtesy. However, if they offer a bump to 1K on request, it will likely will not include plus points. They will probably also offer a buy up offer which will probably be les than $3.5K. With that said, he should just fly and meet the requirement - it'll be the cheapest and best outcome for him.
