Indeed. UA only count BIS miles afaik. At least with DL, there are ways to rack up the MQMs. I'm probably going to put more spending on my DL Reserve going forward.

I'm guessing this will be unreachable for me (realistically for me would probably be 2MMer and getting "complimentary annual" GM is more realist - I doubt I'll even ever hit 4MMer) but it is good news.
Like I said earlier, UA is all BIS miles so it's a bit harder. With DL, at least you can try a variety of ST partners and still have their miles count.
