If I buy an upgrade for the flight home PVG-SFO-IND will those dollars go to my PQD?
If I do nothing will I be offered at the end of the year?

I would like to get 1k before I bumps up to 15k PQD next year. Let me know your thoughts
Welcome to FlyerTalk and especially the United threads!

As WineCountryUA said, you need to upfare to get the PQDs. To do that you need to call United and ask for a GG BUYUP to the P fare. Hopefully it's available at the price that you need and not at a much higher price like I see it sometimes. With the GG BUYUP done on the phone you don't have to pay any change fee.
