If you are sure your numbers are, ignore the issue. Nothing to do now. This thread will provide examples of how this tracker goes wrong. The tracker can work well for many but it clearly still has issues. The personal spreadsheet is still the preferred approach.

I'm a little confused about the PQD display on the Mystatus page, and the assertion that once you exceed $12,000, it no longer shows your actual PQD. My wife's Mystatus page (current GS status) shows "PQD $21,xxx of $12,000" and "PQM 75,xxx of 100,000". Her "Future Flights" page also displays her exact YTD PQM and PQD and displays year-end projections of 153,xxx PQM and $48,xxx PQM. So people's experience is that once she exceeds 100,000 PQM and qualifies as 1K, these pages will no longer show her actual PQD?

I finally got around to checking this and comparing it to my spreadsheet. It looks like PQM's are spot on, even including the 500 PQM minimums. The PQD is slightly off by $50.
That's probably related to a different issue I've been seeing with regards to the PQD amounts shown in different places. My discrepancy comes from one PNR. There are four different
places where I can check the earnings, and all four show a different number
- On the eticket, it shows one amount A (just airfare, apparently missing a fuel surcharge).
- At the booking page it shows amount B (which I presume to be the correct amount)
- On the "View trip" page on the UA website, it shows amount B
- In the app, viewing the PNR-> "Accruals for this trip", it shows amount C, which is $50 less than amount B
If I use amount B in my spreadsheet then it matches the Future Flights tool. It's just funny that the app and future flight tool are pulling data in one way (albeit incorrectly), while the view trip
page works correctly and the eticket is just utterly broken

MyStatus future forecaster changing values
back in November, i had a few trips planned for the rest of the year, that according to the future forcaster, would put me at 75,500-76,500 milee....giving me platinum status (currently 1k)
now that ive flown a few of those trips (havent adjusted my flights since then), I checked the forecaster again right now, and the future flights come out to 74,992 miles
2 questions:
1) what could have changed to cause it to drop? nothing was changed in my itinerary
2) if i end the year short 8 miles...is there anything i can do without having to fly a cheap flight?

The onus is on you to check your flights and make sure you got/get the correct PQD/PQM credits for each one.
This statement basically says you shouldn't rely on the status tracker: "United reserves the right to correct any misstatements, miscalculations, misdesignations and any other errors shown or displayed on the Premier status tracker site, and to make any such corrections at any time and without notice."

[Consolidated] "I need XXX UA PQD's/PQMs/PQSs in 2018 for Elite Status in 2019"
Will UA Grant 2019 EliteStatus if I am XXX PQM/PQS/PQD Short of Qualifying in 2018?

Hello united brains
any idea when this feature will be up and running again I burned through 6 of my 8 GPU already and need to see if I am close with the pqm to get some more , I don’t have a spread sheet as I usually am over the 1k but now I need them before I book more tickets , saving 2 for an emergency if needed

There is not a lot of history to go by as this feature is been around less than 18 months.
But in 2018 it did not return until late February. If I had to guess, I would not expect before the status rollover on 1 February.

The MyStatus site seems to be handled by a different Web group, based on continued errors on the site. For example, it's still showing the $12,000 PQM requirement for 1K (as opposed to the $15,000 PQM requirement clearly shown in several places on UA.com).

Agree it should be better, either way.
