To find your PQDs if >than $12K
Go to
MileagePlus activity since my last statement and it is in the "Account summary" table at the top of the page.
Note this is not just the UA operated PQDs (which is commonly believed to be what matters for GS) but rather your total PQDs.
Definitions
BIS is actual scheduled flight distance (Great Circle Mileage Distance -- GCM) between airports with 500 mile minimum for elites. This is the standard used for Lifetime miles also. Those flying mostly sub-500 segments sometimes prefer to not use the minimum rule.
The definition for CPM is a bit vaguer, especially since CPM is used in multiple different situations.
Believe for the purpose of this thread, GS qualification, folks are using
PQD CPM = UA PQDs / UA BIS
Note there is no direct evidence UA uses this CPM number for GS Qualification but it is a number FTers like to use.
As for BIS, UA does not report this number your account and it needs to be manually tracked.
One way is to make use that PQMs are based on BIS but there may be a multiplier / bonus for high end fares. If always in 2x PQMs, you could divide by 2 to get BIS.

So ... out of Dulles (IAD) with 75% international
218,608 (PQM)
$76,477 (PQD)
Got my invite about the 8th of December. Small company with about 30 employees but 8 are GS. Only purchase front of bus seats. Never used an upgrade certificate yet. The new PlusPoints is interesting but mostly use the upgrades for relatives.
Peace out!

I just checked mine as well and so.. again to all : let's wait till January 10th lol.... it's back online but still shows 1k for me as well... even if i did 77k last year spent... so... it aint' happening today ... 9 more days .... Besides... whatever is on the books for this year, i don't believe is a factor... since all pertains to what one has accomplished in 2019.... i may be wrong.. but it can only be logical.. as many restart (like me) to book flights, when back next week at the office....
