Also, 1st time that I'm even close to seeing 120 PQS. Hats off to folks like GSunitedloyal and ua1flyer who put the miles and segments in year after year.

I guess it must depend of how much "Over $12,000" you are....

When you are based in an international city, PQD works oddly. We are exempt from spend minimums to hit status thresholds, and often my flights say “ineligible” in the PQD section despite being UA codes on UA metal from LHR to SFO. It is particularly odd as some of my flights do have a value in the PQD section.

Of the the ones that do have a value, it is about $16k, but this excludes most of my flights. I think my spend is more like $40-50k

Where do you purchase your tickets from? Business class tickets purchased through certain travel agencies are actually bulk fares and don’t qualify for PQD. I learned it the hard way and have my corporate travel agency to be mindful. Travel agencies sometimes do not get their stocks directly from the airlines. They source the tickets from different outlets.

UA_Flyer gave a likely explanation of why some of your PQD does not count. I think that if UA sees $16,000 the likelihood of getting GS is low. Even though you are exempt of spending minimum to reach 1K, I think that for GS UA wants to see big spending.

Is this the first year that you are flying so much? Maybe as UA_Flyer suggested you should have a talk with the office booking your tickets.

If the office booking your tickets tells you that the cost of the ticket is significantly reduced by buying it this way, I guess you'll be stuck with that system.
