Tracking Premiere (BIS, PQMs, PQDs, ...) Progress
Hey guys,
Newbie here. I had a quick question for you folks. I am looking for a decent app to track my progress towards Premiere that will automatically calculate PQM/PQS from flight numbers that I have flown (just to reconcile against my frequent flyer account). Do any of you use anything for this?
Thanks guys, much appreciated.

flyinjer, as this is specific to UA we'll move this thread to the UA forum.

It is actually forward-looking as well - I track YTD, total expected, spend, cost per mile (though will no longer track CpRDM after this year), etc.
That way, I can see how close I am to milestones (MM, renewal) and judge accordingly - especially considering how often I use SDC for reroutes.

I keep a fairly simple Google Spreadsheet, tracking my flown, booked, and planned flights with PQM and actual or estimated PQD. This year, I also started tracking type of upgrade, if any (i.e. CPU, Miles, Miles+Cash, RPU, or GPU) and if that upgrade cleared.

Yeah, i'm mainly interested in tracking for the sake planning. I do like to see as much data as possible all in one location.
I've started to put together a spreadsheet using this as a template: https://milepoint.com/forums/threads...-miles.124978/

BIS and actual flight miles tracking
I'm new to FT. I see everyone tracking BIS and actual flight miles (including partner flights). UA's website provides all this data, but am I right that everyone is putting in the effort to manually (or separate spreadsheet) tally data like BIS and partner flight miles? I searched and found some threads from 10-15 years ago with spreadsheets, (but the links weren't active anymore for me) but would love to see if there's any updated tools people are using? Thanks.

I just have an excel sheet. I track all my miles earned (Card, BIS, bonus, etc.). I also have it programed to show the difference between the $-based RDM earning we get now, vs. the distance-based earning from a few years ago and shows my PQD vs. actual spend.
For me, it gives me an easier way to see everything detailed how I want it, and gives me something to compare to UAs web site, so can track anything that doesn't post to UA, or doesn't post properly.
