PQD disappeared for me the second i crossed $40k.
I’m a 3-4 year GS. I asked GS support about it and they just said re download the app. No avail.
It seems like this cut off happened in September for people who get 1K. But they didn’t implement the feature until September .... i requal’d for 1K awhile back.
I was hoping it meant I am auto requal for GS but that’s probably not the case. I usually spend $45-50k and requal.

I think you mean the latter, and I notice that I am also missing PQD for all activity entries in the app. However, I would guess your question got confused with the former.
Anyway, while I doubt it is intentional that PQD is missing from the app activity list, it is still possible to calculate by dividing the 'base miles' line by 5.

actually just dividing by 5 doesn’t work (or 7 if you’re silver or 8 if you’re gold or 9 if you’re platinum or 11 if you’re 1k)
if you fly on a partner airline sometimes you get fractional or zero PQD
i flew EWR to SIN in March and got 19k PQM and 0 PQD
and with partner airlines you have to keep exact track of the booking class (B, Y, etc.) because the fractional multiplier varies. and it’s not unusual for United to make a bad calculation (or one inconsistent with their table)
if you have no status and only fly united metal then divide by 5 would work
its annoying to have to guess for those with more complex itineraries and large numbers of flights
i hope they bring it back

It splits the award miles total into base miles and bonus miles, so divide the base miles by five to get the correct PQD.
If you are getting PQD on a partner airline, the base miles are awarded as 5 × base miles.

Okay folks - please reassure me that I shouldn't rely on the future flights tracker.
I'm just missing $15k PQD and have 3 flights booked the remainder of the year - I've added up the reported PQD for each of those flights in reservations and it puts me to $15,0xx. But the status tracker shows me with only $14,992 including future flights.
Two of the three flights are single UA segments. The third is a RT flight returning in the new year. Even so, it was correctly showing the PQD in future flights tracker for that flight before I booked the two others.
Needless to say I don't want to end up $8 short of 1K because of some bungle on my end (I'll just buy up to the next fare code for $20 if necessary).
