Long time user / lurker in the forum, but like many, business travel went on hiatus for COVID. Now getting back into regular work travel and want to obtain Gold status for 2024. I’m 3 PQFs short (or 1600 PQP to 10k), but imagine the PQFs will be much easier / cheaper this late in the year. Any help greatly appreciated!

Departure Airport: ORD
Miles (PQF/PQP/BIS, choose one) Needed: 3 PQFs (or 1600 PQPs to 10k)
Maximum Budget: ~350
Available Travel Dates: 12/19 or after (not available 12/24-12/25…plus it’d be crazy $$$)
Required Metal or Codeshares Okay: As long as it’s UA PQFs don’t care
Route(s) You've Already Searched: Tried a few things on ITA matrix, but candidly, so out of practice after 4 years, I’ve forgotten the basics

Thanks in advance!
