Looking to top up a few tier points

So, for a variety of reasons, I'm going to find myself a little short on tier points to renew Au this member year.

I need 175 points by the end of April. I'll get 120 points for a trip to LAS at the beginning of next month, which leaves me with an awkward 55 extra points I have to *find*. Right now I have 3 ideas on how to bank the extra points.

• My LAS trip is indirect out and back, with 20 tier points coming from SEA-LAS and LAS-JFK. I'm not sure if it's even possible, and may be prohibitively expensive, but if I upgrade the Comfort+ fare to a First F or P fares, that gives me 80 tier points rather than 20, so +60 and and just over the 1,000 tier points for renewal
• Alternatively, whilst I'm in LAS I take a short round trip LAS-LAX-SJC-LAS on a First A or G fare. Likely to be a reasonable cost (~$500), but I'll lose much of the day sitting on a plane, going nowhere
• Have a weekend in New York at the end of April, with at least 1 leg on an Economy M or higher fare. This would be my favored option, if I wasn't going to be limited to just 1 day in NYC due to work commitments limiting being away for longer until May

Right now I'm leaning to the 'trip to nowhere'.

Can anyone think of any other ways to bag 55 tier points. If only we had a way of earning tier points on the Virgin Black cards ...

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Couple of suggestions...

A weekend trip to NYC perhaps with an indirect route on one leg, for example LHR-BOS-JFK-LHR in lowest economy would get you 55 TPs (25+5+25).

Alternatively I've noticed that you can get 50 TPs per sector on a transatlantic Delta Comfort+ fare which can sometimes only be ~£50 more than regular Economy. It's not premium economy but it gives you the equivalent of VS PE in terms of tier point earning!

Interesting suggestion taking a Comfort+ TATL flight with Delta. That could work - as would an Economy/Comfort+ split ticket.

Thank you.
