I think the only people revenue-based programs work for would be flyers who are traveling for business (at the last minute) on the company's dime.
As a hub-to-hub flyer (SFO/IAH on UA), company's dime, sure, last minute, never (tickets are Q). UA has figured out that they own this route, so will charge whatever they damn well please. At the end of the year, PQD is no issue for me, but PQM can be.
