But it comes at a cost. You have to change $72k on this card to get 3000 PQP, and you can earn better rewards on other cards for pretty much any dollar you charge to the Select card. Back in my 1K days the $5k United spend to earn 5k EQM was no big deal and the 3X miles was very competitive. But now? I wouldn’t charge $72k (basically all my annual credit card spend) on this card to get 3k PQP. MSers may disagree.

for what it’s worth, a very similar current thread from today in the UA forum:
