Is this hyperbole really necessary? Nobody's FPQMs are expiring anytime soon; there's about a year and a half before that can happen.
Flex Elite Qualification Miles (Flex EQMs) will have an expiration date. Flex EQMs earned after January 1, 2012 will expire 39 months after they are deposited. Specifically, Flex EQMs earned beginning after this date can be used at any time during the calendar year in which they were earned, plus three additional calendar years, and will then expire if not redeemed. Flex EQMs earned prior to January 1, 2012, will continue to have no expiration date.

To answer my own question -- the farelock went through today and in the final confirmation email the 1st bag is $0, 2nd bag $35 and the verbiage under baggage allowance now says:
No mention of the MileagePlus Business card benefit (or the PP card benefit). I suppose my Silver status trumps the MP Business card benefit? Whatever. I won't make this mistake again and will use the PP card for all future bookings... and be warned not to trust the initial booking screen, another system bug I suppose.

The $0 being shown for each bag is buggy though--It showed it AFTER a confirmation number was issued, showing "Visa" as the method of payment. The system should already know right then that a Pres Plus MasterCard wasn't used and not show $0 for second bag.

Have PP card which allows two free bags. If I book a flight through my account for a family number only (not me) paying with the PP card will the two free bag feature still apply?

No. Card benefits are for card member and one traveling companion. Unless you are flying, they get nothing.

Do card benefits extend to an authorized user?

This thread has gotten long and cumbersome plus the original topic -- "changes" is a bit dated -- so time to close. Capture all the 2014 posting and created http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...14-2015-a.html.
