What I've been reading indicates that it's better just to buy PQPs rather than try to take a trip with a partner airline. I'm the type that would rather take a 3 day trip to Panama and have the experience. Is this no longer doable with changes that have been made to the program?
Read the chart in the wiki - non 016 tickets flying non-UA metal will earn according to distance. You just need to find a cheap enough fare.

Buying PQP is definitely not a good deal.
