The only way to get PQDs for partner flights is for the ticket to be UA (016) ticket stock. Either by purchasing from UA or to have a TA issue on UA ticket stock -- but for a TA to do that would require a significant portion of the travel be on UA operated flights or codeshares.
ok so little confused now but want to clarify as I read all the above posts then I read your comment...
To book
Business class on Star Alliance partners and make it "count" for UA credit for 1K:
IF booked with *airline (their ticket stock/NON-016) - Will get PQM
IF booked with *airline (their ticket stock/NON-016) - Will get PQD
BUT only on UA segments
IF booked with UA directly for travel on *airline (UA ticket stock/016) - Will get PQM AND PQD all the respective partners (but the obviously the % of PQM varies among the partners/need to check booking class thoroughly for maximum benefit)
