I'm going to be short by 1400 miles this year. How does Alaska handle the class of service bonus for F on flights less than 500 miles? Do you get the 500 eqm or 750 like UA or 875 (175%)?

On the economy side, Y & S fare classes earn a 50% COS for 750 EQM minimum; a return in Y, S would give you 1500 EQM

Just to confirm, I have 89,655. I called Alaska today and they said no problem. They would bump me up to 90,000 and told me I would get every benefit but the 50,000 bonus miles.
Would buying up help rather than the complimentary option?
My closest airports are IAD/DCA/BWI.
When I found out a few weeks ago they would bump me up for the last 500 miles I didn't realize it didn't include the 50,000 bonus. Ugh.
Now it's the 26th and I don't have the time to go on an AS trans-con and I'm just thinking of any other options besides AA DCA-YYZ. There is AA DCA-NAS but that's is full or crazy expensive.

Maybe paid one way, award the other?
12/31 DCA-NAS #4457 economy award available through AS for 17.5K. Immediate return (also #4457 ) NAS-DCA for $303.
