UA can be pretty punitive with the elite qualifying dollar caps they put on partners, though I'll note AA has always been more generous on elite qualification on most oneworld partners compared to UA and Star. (I.E. United didn't count non-UA flights toward million mile status and until the change to revenue based elite qualification, you didn't even get premier qualifying dollars on partners flights not ticketed by UA.)
