I thought about only UA flights counting, but I just did some flights on LH and they qualified into PQP and PQF but poorly.

I can definitely do UA only, whatever gets me there. I have until Oct 7th to complete.
If it's UA only, there's plenty of IAH-BQN/SJU type trips available in September and early October, and the PQPs are based on fare anyway so doing that just once in business class should work. In fact it doesn't even matter what destination or dates you choose since it's all fare based and you earn 1 PQP per $ spent (not on taxes). 1134 PQP is probably going to cost you close to $1300 or so.

EDIT: Sample itinerary with overnight in Houston (barely gets you above the required PQP). Same day return (a bit more expensive but business), another same day in Economy Plus
