BULK tickets do not count for standard Status Challenges either. They have no price associated with them and UA does not know what AMEX charged you. BULK ticket don't earn PQPs by the normal fare based approach for these same reasons. These BULK ticket issues go back to the PQD days.
PQP earned for the base fare and carrier-imposed surcharges count toward this offer.
BULK fares do not work that way
