What pattern? I have several vacations throughout the year, and will plan accordingly. As is stands, 1K should be achievable for about ~$7000 (so ~2.5PQP/$) , most of it up front. The 54 segments may be the hardest thing and are inflating the spend amount, but when booking my bulk UA tickets, I have been booking in extra segments, and will also rely on SDC to squeeze in more.
