Since you don't seem to need many SQM, it's just about spending the $3.5K, which is pretty easy! In the other thread, you mention you fly to LHR/DUB about every other month and refer to the additional fees to u/g TATL so I assume you're flying lower fare classes. A Western Canada Europe and NA pass in Latitude is approx $1,550/leg which would let you upgrade at the time of booking without fees. Maybe by switching to that product and fitting in a couple of trips to LHR during the promo period you'd meet all the requirements without having to do any additional flying and you'd get a quantifiable benefit from the extra spending.
