Have another 30k miles booked for this year already... Gosh, when will this stop?
PQD: 10k (but WAIVED!)
PQM: 24654
PQS: 9

I can't get some business trips away from UA, try as I might
IAD-KWI is doable on QR for the PQMs, but the times were not right
With that boost I would have been US CP by now.
The rest are all short hops to NJ. EWR-DCA
I am not willing to go from LGA to NJ just for 1000 miles of US status.

UA has certainly lost 30k spend for the enhancements.
The management will only change when the owners feel the pain.

If you continue at these pace next year you should be looking at 1K and maybe GS.
They refused GS in 2011 for 45k spend in C mainly on UA and some on LH with UA tkts.
