I bought more (and primarily!) premium cabin fares. Even at that, I was right at the PQD ratio (12cpm) had I flown only 100k PQM.
This year, I'm going to have to work at PQD (!) as by mid-February, I'll have 33k PQM (on 13k BIS) but a bit less than $3k PQD. That's with all paid premium cabin fares and the new PQM earning rules.
