I find myself in an expected situation. I did not think I will get this close to 175 K award level otherwise my spend would have been a bit different. It seems like I will be about 5 K LP shirt of that, would like to go for it as that will give me 2 SWUs. My AA CC statement will close at Fen 15th so can add some spend as gift cards for future use. Looked at AA Hotel, will have to spend close to $200 to get close to get that much miles, however posting with AA hotels is always an issues. Looked at Moley fool sub in AA Shopping, with 30% LP bonus, that can probable get me there for $99 yearly sub.
Any other options/suggestions to get over the line and get SWUs for the first time ever

Thanks all!
