OK, thanks.
I guess I'll be buying more FC upgrade offers and/or accelerators. It may be fruitless trying to use the PP, but I want that 1K! ;-)
As far as "clearly stated," I only see "spend" but no definition of when that's counted. I still have a difficult time believing UA will give me PQP if I go buy a car with my card and haven't yet paid the balance.
I do appreciate your response nonetheless.
