UA seems to be running a deal from the 9th Hawaiian island back to Hawaii (all these fares are displayed with same day turn for those interested in pure MR but can totally convert this into an actual trip) for around $317 USD (works out to around 5.5 CPM so not best run but then again this is Hawaii):

Another interesting fare ZFV - FRA on UA for $476 USD [~5.5 CPM]:
https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...-EWRZFV1UA2863
A few dates that work for fast turn around. Never "flew" on United trains before so unsure how exactly that works (i.e. does the train arrive at EWR?). Certainly an interesting itinerary considering it's multi-modal. Would be interested to know how this multi-modal system works (i.e. if your train mis-connects is the remainder of the itinerary protected since it's all ticketed in one itinerary by UA?).

Came across this fare while testing my Google flights blacklist:'
AA : YYZ - PVG for $614 CAD [~ 3.5 CPM]:
https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...Z,-F9,-MF;eo=e
I wouldn't consider it a pure MR since you do have to stay over (requiring a visa) and given the CPM. But if you have friends/relatives in China it may be a worthwhile run.
This fare also has a counterpart in J namely AA - YYZ - PVG in J for $2,614 (+$200 CAD for UA counterpart in J):

On this fare though, "a few dates that work for fast turnaround" actually means this is a KEF deal with a stopover in FRA..

Also BOS - CPH $400 USD
It's also possible to do BOS-CPH for $400 for a week in April with AC:
https://www.google.com/flights/#sear..._ALLIANCE;eo=e
Should yield 100% milage on UA since it's an AC flight (works out to 4.6 CPM so barely a MR in terms of pricing).
Obviously not a true MR, but I could think of things to do in Denmark for a week.

https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...=STAR_ALLIANCE
Deal nets over 12000 PQMs on UA.

Here's an AA fare I found out of the midwest to Texas (earns about 3.9 CPM but also racks up a decent amount of segments):
CLE - DFW - $101 USD:
https://www.google.com/flights/#sear...NK,-WN,-B6,-F9
Per Flights this books into normal economy so should earn normal EQM/EQS.
