Cheapest way to get 2,000 miles on US from DTW this weekend?

I currently have 96,000 status miles on the year with US but do not have any more travel planned on them this year. However, I want to hit CP so need another 4,000 status miles. Most of my weekends are taken up for the rest of the year with the exception of this coming weekend (Nov 19-21). US has a current promo that gives 2,000 bonus status miles for one roundtrip, which means that I would need a MR that earns an additional 2,000 miles (looking for 4 segments since I'm in DTW) to get CP. The best I can come up with is a one-night trip DTW-PHL-BOS for ~$196 all in.

Are there any cheaper options for this weekend? I would prefer to get it all taken care of on Saturday; but if I need to stay a night, I would like to go to a city with a Hyatt so I can use a FFN.

Thank you.

Edited to add: I just found a DTW-PHL-DCA for $181 with a one-night stay. That's the cheapest I've been able to get so far.
