Do legacy UA Mileage Plus Chase card (Select/Plat) still earn PQMs? {Yes}
The Select Card doesn't have a $35k hurdle. Or any hurdle.
Up to $5K of purchases at United.com are matched with PQM, and 3x RDM earned on UA purchases whether at dot com or phone.
In addition, yearly I get 5K RDM anniversary bonus
2x RDM on Star Alliance purchase, home improvement stores, restaurants and grocery
That's a Plus.
The $35k thing is a different card.
