BTW, if these fares are showing up only on routings to Hawaii, my sympathies for corporate travelers stuck receiving zero PQM are limited.

$ Spend
Seems clear to me that UA (and frankly other carriers) are moving towards status based on $ spend and away from miles/segments. The introduction of Y/B/M-UP just below CPU for GS is the best sign of this and clearly rewards the higher fare over the more frequent flyer.
That's a rational move and is entirely consistent with the business model.

And I don't have a problem with it - B fares are nearly discount F fares anyway; if UA wants to sell F seats to elites at a discount, that's their prerogative. You have the same opportunity to take advantage as anyone else.

I think that's what I said !
Higher fare paid gets you a better opportunity vs. merely flying a lot. Needless to say, flying a lot and paying hire fares gets you the top of the heap = GS.

I suspect that the issue here is that either the fare basis is incorrect (and not supposed to be 'N') or that the web site is inc
rrectly reporting 0%. There are numerous known cases where the percentage quoted by the web site is incorrect. I'd guess this is just another one of those.

Interesting how the CO apologists like to frame this as a case where UA was leaving money on the table and CO is now whipping them into shape with fiscal discipline when, in fact, UA always rewarded high value behavior and the change we're seeing now is an incentive for lower value behavior. Combine with TODs for kettles and merging of "all elites into one" and, in fact, all the changes I've seen from the CO regime are pushing UA down the value chain, not up the chain.
Before all this crap started, I'd sometimes make a choice to buy a B fare on a long international trip simply because I didn't want to fly more BIS miles to qualify for status and wanted to better SWU odds. Now, my biggest incentive is to walk away and take AA up on their Exp match.

If this is true and not a mistake, buyer beware when buying UA tickets:

Good catch. This is a display issue on united.com concerning "N" class. It should be showing 100% PQMs. This issue should be corrected soon.

rrectly reporting 0%. There are numerous known cases where the percentage quoted by the web site is incorrect. I'd guess this is just another one of those.Unlike DL, UA has always been very transparent on things like that and always provided advanced notice on any changes so i don't believe they would quietly sneak this in.
BTW a few years back i booked G-fare on ual site which was supposedly reserved for some unusual cases and not oped to public. Took quite a bit of time to force an upgrade on it and get miles credited. UA admitted a glitch back then.
Edit: not surprisingly confirmed as i was typing...
