This year is the 1st year i've even come close to 12 PQF for United's entry level Premier status.
But I'm cheap and buy economy so I won't make the PQP requirement.
By the end of the year I might have 2500 PQP if i stick with economy.

Is Premier status worth spending the $ on Comfort/Business class to make PQP?

Edit:
I only travel with carry-on
