United MileagePlus (Consolidated) - Does award travel count toward segments flown?

I'm sure this is covered somewhere but my smartphone doesn't seem to like the Search feature.

I am a lowly 2P that qualifies yearly on segments, not miles, rarely having a flight over 500 miles. Booking a one-way Award travel later this summer and was wondering if these two segments will count toward my 30 required. BTW--- attaining status, even 2P, sucks when qualifying by segments.

Moderators--Feel free to move this if more appropriate.

Thanks for the words of wisdom!

Award travel is not counted for elite qualification, never.
