When do PQMs post?
When do the PQMs post after making a Premier Accelerator purchase? I see that the Award Accelerator miles posted immediately.
I ask because I will travel overseas in a little over a week and the additional PQMs would get me to Star Gold.

Mine posted as Continental Elite Maximizer PQMs the following day. I waited to purchase the RDMs and PQMs until I checked in online the day before the flight. By the time I looked at united.com after flying my first segment, the RDMs and PQMs I bought were posted.

Thanks for your quick response. Do you or anyone else happen to know if you need to fly first for those purchased PQMs to post? Since it is a purchase, I shouldn't think Premier Accelerator PQMs and when you fly would be related. In fact, I thought I saw a post (can't find it now) that said that you keep purchased Premier Accelerator PQMs even if you had to cancel your flight.

Award Accelerator miles posted, but not the Premier Accelerator miles
Curious follow-up to this situation: I attempted to buy the RDMs and PQMs - got the email confirmation itemized with both receipt IDs, and as I mentioned earlier, the RDMs posted immediately, but not the PQMs.
So after two days with no change I wrote to MileagePlus support. I have yet to hear back, but I checked my online credit card statement and only the RDMs portion has been charged to my credit card.

When I made an EQM purchase last year to get from G to Plat, a boarding pass issued a few days later still showed G, but the status on the CO app on my BB showed Plat. The attendant at the LH Senator lounge admitted me when I showed the display on my BB. So check the app on your smartphone if the status doesn't show on your boarding pass.
