So far this year:
PQM: 116,882
PQS: 51.5
PQD: $11,500
This is nearly all business travel, domestic Y except for 2 trips to BOM.
I guess this satisfies the qualification for 1K next year, but I haven't received any recognition so far.

PQM- 104,065
PQS- 39
PQD- $8,476
I seem to have the opposite problem of most - PQM no problem but PQD is going to delay qualification, likely into August. I had several long flights on LH that did not qualify for PQD but jacked my PQM total.

It has been a slow travel year for me. I passed the $10K number somewhere around April Fool's Day.
Rough numbers through mid July:
M-60K
S-40
D-20K

You won't (outside passing the goals on your account page), until you get your 2015 credentials early next year. Unless you move up from current (2014) status, that's the way it has always been - no recognition.

I may have an issue with PQD to get back to 1k. Off to SIN on a $800 ticket Saturday so that won't help. Have the old PP card so I am Plat next year anyhow. We will see....

Almost all of my travel with United is for leisure purposes. For 2014:
PQM- 132,826
PQS- 68
PQD- $23,694
Business Travel is with Alaska air which if that could be added to UA I might have a shot at GS.

A contrary position: government plus personal travel, lots of both
YTD Premier qualifying miles: 68,144
YTD Premier qualifying segments 59.5
YTD Premier qualifying dollars: $5,349
Some attributed US travel early in year led to a PQD lag as did a long but relatively cheap YCA transpac fare. I will be OK this year (and cross the 2nd million), but next year, my pattern suggests PQMs way over but PQDs close or under.

Tracking almost at 10cpm. Mostly business trips, 2 TPAC for business, 1 TPAC personal, combo of some expensive some reasonable domestic trips.
This would really been more of an issue 5 years ago when I was doing TPACs at $1,000 +/- $300....

All of these reports are consistent with the view that the PQD requirement was imposed more to run off the Mileage Run crowd (who were always seeking to maximize mileage accumulation at minimum expense) than to cramp severely the style of typical business/leisure travelers whose mileage is set by where they need/want to go. When the MP converts nearly entirely to a spend-based system in 2015, the final nail will be in the coffin of MRs.
