A link to this information is also included in this month's My MileagePlus statement email, which we started sending to members earlier today.

Thanks for the update Aaron. Question though...
Codeshare and partner flights: If you purchase a ticket for a flight that is marketed by United but operated by another airline (known as a codeshare flight), the operating airline determines how many miles you earn. The fare class that appears on your ticket may differ from the fare class that the operating airline uses to determine flight miles earned. If a partner flight is not eligible to earn award miles, then it is also not eligible to earn Premier qualifying miles, segments or dollars.
So if I fly a partner that earns 50% on a fare PQM... does that mean that 50% of the PQDs would count or the full PQDs? Obviously if they earn 0% PQMs, then 0% of the PQDs would count.
