Being a novice with UA mileage accrual.... what's the point of this exercise? Is it beneficial only to those with "non-US addresses?"

Yes, and if UA flyers were looking for PQM but not PQD or RDM

What's the relevance of a "non-US address"? Does one allow attainment of status with fewer miles, segments, or spend?

Oof... that's harsh, making the PQD but not having PQM? The things we're not used to thinking about in AA-land, but will have to know soon enough.

No PQD requirement, same segment/mileage requirements.

I'm seeing it out of SAN for $81.

Connects in IAH instead of SFO so total EQM is 3054.

Not bad but the ones I snagged via SFO earlier in the year were even better.

Same day turn SAN-ORD on 9/7 $69 via DEN (~3300 PQM) or $74 via SFO (~4000 PQM) both similar timings and N/S on the way back. Only that one date so far.

Also, addressing the question that was asked earlier, I'd say if you fly UA a lot definitely consider an MP Explorer card. It's pretty much equivalent to Premier Silver and gives you both the PQD waiver and 10k mile bonuses at $25k yearly spend. It's a decent deal if you can make *G for the year, and plan to travel internationally a lot (which I do). If you couple this with some manufactured spending (paying your rent on your credit card is increasingly common, for example) it's not that bad.

I tipped TFD after I posted on here but made sure I booked what I wanted to before I did. I wonder who posted on SD, funny to see all the plebs there not knowing how to replicate.
