Now your plan is spend 7000.00 now and buy upgradeable tickets next year (even at 1000.00 per ticket X 6 r/t's is 6000.00) 13000.00 total... right?

Looks like a 9800.00 savings... roughly.
Don't forget that the 5 R/Ts will earn both him and his spouse about 77500 RDMs each (roughly 3 R/Ts as a 2P at 12500 RDMs each plus 2 R/Ts as a 1P at 20000 RDMs each). That's almost a saver C seat to Europe for the two of them which at 2600-3800 USD each almost pays for the MRs and promo.
