The club card waives the 4 segment requirement not the PQD requirement.

Does spend on my MileagePlus co-branded credit card earn PQD? (Expanded)
No. Spending on your credit card does not earn PQD.

However, in 2014 and 2015, the PQD requirement for Premier Silver, Premier Gold and Premier Platinum qualification is waived for primary Cardmembers whose address with MileagePlus is within the 50 United States or the District of Columbia and who, in combination with their authorized users, spend at least $25,000 in Net Purchases during the applicable calendar year on MileagePlus co-branded credit cards issued by Chase Bank USA, N.A. Net Purchases made between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2014, or January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2015, will count toward the $25,000 threshold in the applicable year.

There is no PQD waiver for Premier 1K® qualification.

So after a year free, my annual fee has posted and I will look to downgrade/close the card. Is there still a United card with no annual fee that I could downgrade the Club card to?

I was able to downgrade previously to a no-fee Chase MileagePlus card that offers 0.5 miles per $ spent. This product isn't offered for direct applications, but it does exist (at least as of late last year, when I did my downgrade).

Including the United Club membership?

My question is how long does it take to get the actual United Club membership card itself? I was told for United Clubs my frequent flyer number will be enough to get in in the meantime, but I have international travel coming up and I will need the physical card to get into other *A lounges.

Thanks, for the info. I did call and they said its impossible to expedite. They told me 4-6 weeks but they thought some people might get it faster. I will be leaving for my next trip exactly 3 weeks after I was approved. So I guess I'm probably out of luck for this trip.
