I earned 150K United Award Miles this year

UA Premier Platinum (currently 6K PQM's away from 1K)

(5) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Priority Services. Award Redemptions

(6) Which routes do you fly most often
US to Europe roundtrip at least 6 times a year. Next year it will be more like 10 roundtrips.

(7) Preferred Airlines
I love flying on Lufthansa

(8) Do you travel for work or pleasure?
Pleasure
you are buying your tickets wrong then. With 150k miles and J/A travel you ought to get 1K with PQDs. Start buying your LH flights on 016 UA tickets. You will get more miles and you will earn 1K which in turn will make you earn even more. Buy UA codeshare to start with, or otherwise buy tickets on united.com.
