If you have a close friend/ family member who has a eligible account then get him/her to buy .
While it costs money to transfer miles you can upgrade eligible tickets using miles from any account.
You will have to ask them to log into their account and upgrade your ticket for you.
PS: it's been over a year since I have done this and I hope that things are still the same.
