What to do with expiring LifeMiles

Is this trick still working GM?
I'm short 8k miles. If I find a points and pay hotel booking and allow $100 AUD to be paid in cash(the rest points), do you think that would be enough for an 8000 LM refund?
Can confirm a similar transaction (points and $) went thru fine for me in late Jan 25. Mind you, had issues during a previous attempt in late '24, due mainly to my bank's repeated refusal to release the payment.
