Then I went to the website and it, too, shows the same numbers. Anyone seen this before?

Sure, I would love for the flights to post as United says they will. That alone will net me an additional 20 PPs. I suspect they won't (which is expected and OK).

The incorrectly calculated PQP are actually assigned to the UA flights in the ticket and not the LH flights. I should earn approx. $1,600 PQP but UA says I will earn $3,800.

The trip is not until November so I won't be able to report back until then on how things post.

Is this a UA (016) or LH (220) ticket? That makes a difference. An LH segment on an LH issued ticket credits PQP as # of award miles / 5. I've not seen UA quote such amounts but I hardly pay attention prior to posting given their lousy track record of accuracy in such matters -- as evidenced by this thread.
