5 PQD away from United 1K with 120K miles at the end of the year. Anyone have experience with United's "buffer" on PQD? 1 agent said I would be fine but I can't find anything (inc forums) to confirm

Sigh. You can buy up to any fare class you want. So if you're in K and L costs $20 more, you can do that. No need to try and book a RT

How have you flown 120k miles and not hit the $ mins? 😳

Do you have any flights left to take? You could pay to move up a fare class

If you've hit the mileage, you don't need to also hit the segments. It's one or the other...

Get the card?

C1 PQD waiver isn't valid for 1K

Does a flight change fee count?

Ohhhh...You're $5 away? I feel like that should be easy to get...

D3 No

I guess the absolute cheapest round trip possible.

D1 is the money.
(And by that, I mean I watched Casino Royale last night)

I don't worry about this issue until next year when AA implements

D1, good call with a fare upgrade. I didn't realize the differences would be that close in price but it's definitely worth a shot.

D2, a combination of randomly really cheap $300 flights RT from SFO-EWR for work and a $500 RT to Hong Kong. And apparently poor forecasting of my PQDs.
