for OZ or AC, the PQD approach will only be used on 016 UA ticket stock. It will be miles * PQM bonus if not o 016 UA ticket stock

If on UA ticket stock, the status bonus is built into the PQD multiple
If not on UA ticket stock, AC has an RDM premier multipler.

The PQM fare bonus varies by the airline (regardless of ticket stock) and there are no PQM multipliers based on status

UA earning tables
AC earning tables (if not 016 UA ticket stock)
OZ earning tables (if not 016 UA ticket stock)
