Not sure exactly what that means but it does indicate that there is discussion between United and AMEX. UA Insider also indicated that "bulk" tickets will likely *NOT* earn PQD. I will of course keep the FT community abreast...

I would interpret this to mean that they are trying to get AMEX to simply disclose that you are buying a bulk ticket and that it might not earn PQD.

Or it means they don't want Amex to pass these onto corporate travelers and instead use for vacation or group purchasers.
