{Note it is purchase time not the flight times that matter for Premier Accelerator PQMs.}
Yep Midnight Dec 31 Chicago time the PQM counter resets (but flights schedule to depart 2015 in local time will still count for 2015)

I'm seeing extremely cheap rates. I was 9.5k PQMs from 1K and was offered 6.5k and 13k miles at 10.9cpm (including PQM accelerator).
Very interesting to see this late in the year. I grabbed 6.5k and will fly the remaining 3k
.
Route was an award ticket from NRT-IAH for mid December.

Unfortunately, it does me absolutely no good. I just did my status match, so I only have about 6K spend in 2 months and not flying too much more, and already Plat, no real way to make the 12K spend to even think about 1K until next spring. I was hoping they would status match me to 1K but they didn't.

Calendar based system -- if the PQMs are purchased in 2016, they will be added to the 2016 PQM total, not the 2015.

I just paid:
5,000 MileagePlus Award Accelerator miles $115.00
5,000 MileagePlus Premier Accelerator miles $500.00
I have no idea if this deal is good or bad, but I needed ~3,300 Premier Qualifying Miles to qualify for Silver. I have never qualified for status on any airline before, and I was really excited to do it.
