I don’t have my spreadsheet with me to provide details, but between 2010 and 2020 (year of Covid), I was between 250K and 420K BIS range per year during that ten year period. Half of which were on non-UA *A partner airlines with SQ being the most frequently flown non-UA *A airlines (I also achieved PPS during the same 10-year period) followed by LH, OS and NH.

Since Covid, with role change and relocation, I am down to about 120K BIS a year, but now with another role change, I see 200K BIS in 2026 and beyond.

I don’t pay too much attention to PQD or PQS because of my lifetime status, but I do still pay attention to my BIS number each year. I still believe BIS is the true measure of being a frequent flyer.
