Another good idea for low-cost MRs are East coast to LAX and back on the same day. Tomorrow I will be flying PHL-MSP-LAX-DTW-ATL at $318. Works from/to most East coast cities.
Getting back to the topic, how does flying 5000 miles requalify you for Plat? Unless you mean you are planning to take about 15 of these in which case you'd probably be better off taking a "real" trip ie international vacation?
