I have several upcoming trips with the following offers. My wife pays the same for award miles, but slightly less for the PQP's, both of us are Gold.

Two-segment trip totalling aprox 4hrs flight time:
$175 for 7,000 miles or $675 w/ 500 PQP (wife pays $660)
$250 for 10,000 miles or $1250 w/ 1000 PQP (wife pays $1,220)

Three R/T TATL award flights:
$500 for 25,000 miles or $2,015 w/ 1,500 PQP (wife pays $1,970)
$800 for 40,000 miles or $3,022 w/ 2,200 PQP (wife pays $2,956)

Two O/W TATL award flights:
$220 for 11,000 miles or $1,129 w/ 900 PQP (wife pays $1,102)
$360 for 18,000 miles or $1,774 w/ 1,400 PQP (wife pays $1,732)

The $.02/mile for miles on award tickets is consistent with what I've seen for the past several years. I haven't paid much attention to the PQP pricing over the years, so not sure how these prices stack up historically. As for the difference bertween my price and my wife's price for PQPs, my guess is that I'm paying slighty more for because I have more current PQPs in account.
