Booked flights for rest of the year and realized I’d be 484 PQM or 1.5 PQS short of United 1K. Changed one set of flights from one to two stops and still 38 PQM or 0.5 PQS short🤦‍♂️ Hacks? Thanks!

Make sure you hit the PQD threshold as well.

I hit that in July!

Call 1K desk or just take a cheap personal flight.

Do a 2 stop connection for that one flight.

Can you just purchase PQMs? Sometimes they offer that when checking in

Buy miles... On your next flight or unrelated, but with flight is cheaper
