I saw something similar where one leg out of US to NRT was also in biz but that was for 85k miles.
Any input?
I"m a regular member, nothing special, found plenty of 60k economy flights. 75/60 no biggie, prob is i'm at 69k right now.
I do have visa card that gets me 1mi per $2 spent but i can't rack up 12k in charges that fast and my CL is only 6k.
Could you upgrade the card for a bonus? A mileage run would cost several years worth of annual fees and you might even get it waived for the first year, plus the advantage of getting 1 mile/$1 spent. (That MIGHT be the fastest, but then again, nothing is slower than waiting for miles to post when you NEED them!)
