End of 2015
PQM: 101,234
PQD: $12,102
SEGMENTS: 38
An additional 1222 eqms was earned on another *G carrier but has not been posted yet. Actually hit it on 12/29 with an intra Asia flight. Shown to have hit it on 12/31 when the final PQD posted. Closest I've ever made it and did it with a long quasi-mileage run to Asia.

Since I am retired and paying for the trips on my own dime, the game is to find the least expensive routing from SFO that yield the most PQM. In 2014, it was RIC, ORF and PVD. Most all of the tickets were less than $300. In 2015, 25 of the 33 trips were to Florida - PBI-15, FLL-9 and MIA-1. Six trips were same day roundtrip with no overnight on UA Premium Service - 5 to JFK and 1 to EWR.

At 3MM I knew that I was 1K for life, but I didn't know that this status also receives RPU's and GPU's despite not reaching the required PQD. In 2014, when I flew 150K and my PQD was less than $9K, MP told me that because I did not spend the required $10K, I would not receive any complimentary upgrade certs. When the certs got deposited into my account, I learned that I was given incorrect info from MP.

Alas final total was just one TATL or TPAC business trip short of Plat 
but not close enough to justify a mileage run as I have no leisure travel planned or anticipated for 2016 on UA.
Does not seem likely I will make 1K due to travel budget limitations, so lifetime 1MM is probably 2 years off but I see the light at the end of the tunnel...

Passed 400k on my way back to the states from MUC (FYI skip the Tandori Chicken out of MUC) a few days back - spending now passed $110k on UA - I may hit 500k this year on UA bringing my total flying this year unfortunately over 1.4M miles on all airlines - putting me in ua1flyer class for one year - except he wins because his is nearly all on UA, while on the rest of my miles I "suffer" on SQ, EK, and BA...
Trust me no matter what airline or seat you are in - flying isn't what it used to be - not even close!
