Is there actually evidence to support United taking back PQMs already given?

Random Elite Status Downgrade on UA's Website - Anyone Else?
Hi everyone,
Sorry for the late update on this. Without being able to respond to each individual case, I can give some background on what anc-ord772 and others have been seeing.
Starting last year, there was a limited number of duplicate flight postings in a some member accounts. We are now in the process of backing out those award miles and PQM/PQS. However, in the event that a member’s 2012 PQM/PQS balance, inclusive of the duplicate postings, would have made a difference in terms of earning a higher Premier status, we will honor the highest level earned.
The process to "re-up" members to their higher status level should be complete by the end of the next week. However, if you have been affected by the temporary change and status and are traveling within the next week, the MileagePlus Service Center will be able to make a manual change.

That is how I remember it as well. It was called "Platinum" when I signed up about 10 years ago. A few years later the Select card replaced it.

The Select gives out only 5K EQM max, the anniversary becomes a more useful 5K RDM, and UA pruchases get triple miles.
These cards are not available any more.

And, the choices program. I have used it in the past but I value the miles more so I don't redeem any more. I've used the companion cert a few times on expensive fares and as long as you can find T bucket you make out pretty good. And, with a note to 1k voice I've gotten RDM/PQM for both tickets.

Minus $60 if you are 1k. Used to be completely waived pre-merger.

Ah yeah you're right, I forgot about "regular" Choices. Assume UA will keep that since if they can get you to burn miles at 1 CPM, they're doing quite well for themselves.

Agreed. UA makes out very well buying back those miles. I've done it in leaner times but thankfully no more.

Ironically enough, the zone fare certificate has proven to be quite useful lately - I've saved hundreds of dollars with it in the last few years. I think it's because (a) airfares have gone up whereas the zone fares haven't increased appreciably, if at all, in years, and (b) there are many fewer people holding these cards anymore, so that leaves a lot of T inventory left for those of us who still cling to it. So, with the 5000 PQM for $35K spend and the double RDM for "everyday" purchases, this card has been well worth the $140 annual fee.
But, as you said, it's no longer available to new applicants.

I still get my 10k PQM each year. I would rather get 5k PQM and 3x RDM on UA purchases, though. I spend around $40k a year on UA tickets, generally all on this card, so that would be worth around $800/year compared to my 2x card.
BTW, one other interesting thing about the card, it gives 2x RDM on all Star Alliance purchases, not just UA. The current UA cards only give bonus RDM on UA itself.
