Hi,
I will unfortunately loose my 1K status in 2023, but would like to at least achieve UA Gold for 2023. I have AC 75K status secured for 2023.
I have one last flight between YUL-EWR-ORD on UA later for week of Dec 12th, but need to return to YUL from ORD around Dec 15th. I can modify this flight if needed, just need to do a 4 day stop in ORD, or can do a ORD to YUL MR.
What PQP *A MR can I do to help me reach UA Gold? I am flexible for long MR but with a quick turnaround. Thanks for any advice.

Departure Airport: ORD to YUL
Miles (PQF/PQP/BIS, choose one) Needed: PQP (2562) + PQF (8 if depart ORD) or PQP (3562)
Maximum Budget: least possible
Available Travel Dates: 12/15 or 12/16 from ORD
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay: codeshare ok (non-016)
Route(s) You've Already Searched: none
