LHR-SFO Economy = .019/RDM and .08/PQM at check in time for Platinum.

All of mine, domestic and international, are currently either PQM 10.1 or 10.3.

Now both went to 2.1 cpm RDM/8 cpm PQM. That was quick.

I see 1.9/RDM and 7/PQM for 30k and 45k.
I know it probably doesn't get any better than this, but I don't need/want that many.... Oh conundrum...

This is the first time I'm getting bargain basement rates!

IAD-LHR two weeks out for a Plat on a B fare.

.019/RDM and .0833333/PQM

This is the lowest offer I've gotten. I just may bite on the RDMs. I've been burning a lot of them for upgrading on transpacs.

My RDM has now gone up to 2.7cpm, but my PQM is at 7.0cpm. Think this is the lowest PQM, and the highest RDM, I've ever seen. Last week I was at 2.3/7.0.

I'm seeing the same. Definitely the lowest I've received.

1K TPAC travel in J (not UA ticket stock, but first leg operated by UX doing business as UA)

45k @ $855/$3150
30k @ $570/$2100

1.9cpm RDM and additional 7cpm PQM

Now, if I would only need it and wouldn't have had my travel sorted out already...

Very interesting, a few days before departure, the offer for the above ticket changed to:

45k @ $900/$6750
30k @ $600/$4500

2cpm RDM and additional 15cpm PQM

TPAC offer for a flight this week:

40k @$800/$4000
60k @1200/$6000
2cpm RDM / 10cpm PQM

TATL offer for a flight later this summer:

10k @ $270/$700
2.7cpm RDM / 7cpm PQM

If I had a spare $7200 laying around I might consider the 60k buyup, as it'd take me from silver to 1k for next year (and from platinum to 1k for the balance of this year).

Gold here and was on track to stay Gold until I saw a couple offers for 20,000/30,000 miles at 2cpm RDM/7cpm PQM, which looks to be as low as others have seen here.

Jumped on one of the 20k offers as that will guarantee me platinum. I'm planning to buy 4 TATL tickets for a family trip and the E+ upsells alone would probably be over $1,000.

What's more interesting is that as soon as I bought those miles, I had a couple other offers dropped from around 16cpm to 9.7cpm all in.

My PQM rates just spiked from $700 for 10k last week to $1100 this week. RDM stayed the same.

What to expect--PQM accelator?

New to MR but since I'm a Chase MP cardholder expecting to well exceed $25k and return from a Nordic trip in early Sep with 35K PQM, I'm trying to gather 15K more affordably.

I just snapped a $75 LAX-ORD RT so I'm talking about 38.5K now. Before I find another MR or two or three...

What can I expect at check-in at LAX or OSL as in PQM accelerator offer? How many miles and for what kind of price? I haven't taken notice in the past and had always just said no.
