It would help if it showed the amount of miles or segments you need for the status that you select. It shows I how many more miles I need to platinum at the top but if I click on 1k it does not show how many I need. (I know subtracting 74,823 from 100,000 is easy however it is a minor oversight).

I wouldn't mind seeing the FPQM on there somewhere. But all in all it looks nice. (I do agree that even though it is a circle to represent the miles/segments/spend looks odd that it doesn't complete, my fuel gauge is also a segment of a circle and is easy to understand. I do like the Amex Everyday tracker, it changes colours the closer you get to 30 purchases for the bonus points.)
, but why not spend this time and money doing something else? It must have taken some time to build this database.

Cool, but as someone who's already requalified for 1K I see very little useful information. I wouldn't mind seeing additional charts, even if they're not directly relevant after reaching 1K.

This is way more important than anything it currently does. You can already see all this info on your account on the main site. This looks nice, but without this function, I don't really understand the point. People have been asking for a PQD calculator or at least a "this itinerary will earn $xxx PQD" at purchase. That would really be a lot more useful.

+1 Different colors. Green for flown, yellow for planned, white for shortfall.. this would also feed to the chaps that want est. PQD on future trips to show. THEN you can click the yellow segment on the "speedo" to see the flights and their PQD/EQM breakdown. The possibilities are endless!

I'm very happy that it shows PQD even when exempt (I live in Canada), which the regular website does not do. I've been trying to keep track of PQD (out of curiosity and in case United changes its exemption policy at some point) and it's tough without having anything to balance to, particularly as all my tickets are purchased in Canadian dollars.
For anybody who thinks that this is too complicated you haven't lived. Now if you wanted a complicated FF/ Status program that Aeroplan is the one for you for sure. In that one you can have different status in the FFP than you do with the airline so you need two such dashboards on two separate websites
. One reason (of many ) we abandoned them this year.
