Make sure that 35K is indeed PQM, not BIS miles

Had to send MP my most recent AA EXP statement showing my EXP status (which was comped to me last year during the 1K -> EXP compfest). Time to get in the air.
My friend did a 1K challenge from DL Diamond last year. He thought that the miles requirement was PQM. But it was actually BIS (butt-in-seat) miles in his case. So, he failed the challenge.
