You are indeed
sadly mistaken. The
"reward tix" I was referring to are
"purchased" using NonePass miles, only NonePass miles, and nothing but NonePass miles.
You already know how many you need, but here's the
complete CO list of miles needed to "purchase" reward travel. And here's are the rules for
purchasing additional NonePass miles, but as I wrote in my original post, you don't have enough current mile to purchase sufficient miles to qualify for "reward travel."
Fly to Europe again by purchasing a ticket, and you'll have almost enough to "purchase" a reward ticket. OK, fly one and a half times, but that opens up another can of worms
Hope this helps.
