Now, the requirements are no longer 18k PQP but rather 9k PQP. I am currently at 13k PQP so should I get 280 +Ps now? Then another 20 +Ps? because it is 3k beyond the current limit? Or will we get 280 +Ps at 9k and then more once we get beyond 18k?

If this is answered somewhere ... please post!
That's correct, Premier 1K members will continue to receive 20 PlusPoints for every 3,000 PQPs accrued beyond 18,000 PQPs. This ability to earn an unlimited amount of PlusPoints is a benefit exclusive to MileagePlus; and, since we have reduced qualification thresholds in 2020 by 50% for all tiers up to Premier 1K, you'll get 320 PlusPoints after earning just 26 PQFs & 9,000 PQPs - or 12,000 PQPs outright. That's 40 PlusPoints upon qualifying for Premier Platinum, plus an additional 280 for reaching Premier 1K.

Although we are lowering our Premier status thresholds by 50% for 2020, we aren’t also lowering our thresholds for incremental PlusPoints because our six month extension of PlusPoints validity coupled with this would negatively impact all Premiers’ ability to receive an upgrade using PlusPoints.
