I have no other travel planned. I'm certainly not paying the $747 for 700 PQP that they're asking for.

But I also have AC*G and don't fly Y so the benefits don't justify it for me. If I could easily upfare something for $70, I would.
Premier award accelerator will easily take care of it. You need to find a sub-$100 one-way ticket from any A-B, pay for award accelerator and then cancel it after checking if the PQP appears on account activity.
Good luck.
