Any word on GS for you?
Yes, unlike most GS members I rarely buy business or first but usually buy non-refundable economy and use my upgrades for long haul international. I do however often purchase above a W booking code (but less than a B) so that keeps my PQD’s high ($69,796). Since my total Star Alliance BIS was also high at 577,397 my effective ratio of PQM to BIS was only 1.16. I guess I am more of a “quantity” versus a “quality” flyer.

I have been GS for several years, but like many I have not heard anything. My personal experience is that United is more interested in your total spend in dollars and perhaps your home airport then what booking codes you book in or your cpm.
