So, that should mean if I transfer 250,000 bank points that this will convert into $25K Reserve Value with a 2028 expiration (or perhaps transfer a bit more to plug the 2027 gap and have $25K in 2028). I think I was incorrect earlier about needing to wait until Jan/Feb 2022 to transfer points as my membership year is Nov-Oct, so anything I transfer now will convert to Reserve Value at the end of Oct 2022 and therefore go into a 2028 Reserve Value expiration bucket - I hope this assumption is correct. In the meantime, hopefully I'll travel a bit :-)
Currently, there is a 15% promotion by SQ where you will earn 15% more miles if the credit card points transfer are credited on or before 22 Nov 2021:

As such, in this respect, you will just need to transfer around 217,400 miles to get it posted to your KF account by 22 Nov 2021. The 15% bonus miles will be eligible for PPS Value as well. Hence, when you transfer 217,400 miles, you will receive around 250K miles in your account and correspondingly 25K of PPS Value.
In fact, if you can opt to transfer more credit card points during this period of time. Any time in excess of PPS Value for renewal will go into your Reserve PPS Value. So this is a good way to keep your Solitaire PPS status alive without actual flying!
