If I get the UA credit card at the end of the year, will the PQD waiver apply for this entire year?
Status does not affect PQM/PQS/PQD earning rates.

Silver *will* get you 7x redeemable miles instead of the base level of 5x for non-status members. If you were going to spend enough on tickets where the extra 2x would give you a positive return on your MR investment then you wouldn't need to MR to hit Silver in the first place.

I'd suggest you review the United web site and list of benefits carefully and make sure you understand what it is you think you'd be getting...
