What does the second section in this condition mean?

It seems nonsensical, because by definition, if you're earning bonus PQM then you are also earning base PQM, so you can't have "Bonus PQM alone." It can't possibly mean that you can't cross a status threshold on bonus miles, or of course that would defeat the purpose. I guess it means that you still have meet the PQD and UA segment requirements; but the first half of the sentence adds nothing then.
And I love this tautology:

By the way, I didn't receive the offer, though could use it. 1K sitting on around 60K PQM; it will be a struggle to re-qualify. I'd probably consider an up-fare to M/E (if I could clear a GPU at booking) or maybe Z/P on a BAH trip to the west coast for an extra 18K PQM or so; probably cheaper than Premier Accelerator.
