need 8166 United EQM SFO/OAK
I hate to say it but I'll end the year with 91,834 EQM.
Guess I'd better do a mileage run.
I can go from either SFO or Oakland.
Any good suggestions out there?
I like to go out and back the same day if possible, for domestic. Or I can stay overnight, no big deal.

Not exactly cost-effective, but there is a same-day turn available on 1/13 and 1/14 from SFO-DEN-HNL-DEN-SFO. 8648 miles, but it costs $927. 
Operated by UA but US-coded. Much higher if you buy it from UA.

SFO-BOG on UA books into in a B fare which earns 150% EQM, 12-14 out and inbound on 12-17. it prices out at $437, but if you go read the last couple pages in the "trick it" thread there is some juice that can be lost on the fare making this one of the best EQM's out there right now. there is other sporadic dates available in December but looks like a minimum 3 day trip
