It doesn't hurt to do it after every award line, it will just go into denial mode and deny it until it gets you in the LCW. I generally wait until I know i'm close to start adding in that avoid, but some people just do it after every line.

Yup, this is exactly what you're attempting to do. If you don't do something to stop PBS, it will continue to put trips on your line, to get you above the threshold. It will not deny you a line if it can't get above the threshold though. Sometimes the threshold could be the bottom of the lcw and it's all a mopt point. Either way, this strategy is to protect you from unwanted trips.
You could do one bid line of award 4 day limit 3, then an avoid if credit > 0, and as long as you get 3 that puts you in the window, you're good to go. I'll often and a few more lines with an avoid credit >0 after each one, just in case I end up shy some how.
