In 2013 I had 117 segments with only one C fare, which was the highest fare I had for the year. Mostly P & Z.
Similarly I had qualified since the inception of GS program on mostly P and Z fare until I reached lifetime GS, but I think Narvik is right to point out the unknown going forward, based on the recent emails, UA may only look at non -refundable full fare going forward. The past practice may not be applicable anymore.

We will just have to wait for another couple of months to see how GS qualification are being assessed under this new approach.
