FWIW this verbiage is still on the United.com website:
"In 2016, the PQD requirement for Premier Silver, Premier Gold and Premier Platinum qualification is waived for primary United MileagePlus Presidential Plus Card members whose accounts are open and not in default. There is no PQD waiver for Premier 1K qualification.
Please note that the Presidential Plus card is no longer available to new applicants."
Let's hope 2017 as well.
