I don’t think Gold and up even gets the option to buy E+. Flying is the only option I think, and at that rate for 1K ($42) I’d jump on the next plane to anywhere tomorrow.

However I still don’t understand why premier accelerator and P-fare buyups don’t go towards PQD. A dollar is a dollar, and those are pure profit for United.
