I've requalified for 1K with <$1000 PQDs, since most of your qualifying can be non-United metal You can get a lot of qualifying miles fast flying quality foreign carriers, some in business earn 200% qualifying miles.
Even AC Tango fares earn 100% qualifying miles (except domestic)
Unlike earning AC status, you are not bound to one airline.
