PQM's on a mileage ticket?
Flying ORD-MCI tonight on an award ticket. Bought the upgrade for $99 (yeah I know not worth it on short flight) but I notice it now says P fare. I'M I going get the PQM's for flight? 750 I believe. 500 min at 150%.

Very unlikely -- UA keeps track of the original fare but very, very rarely one of these sneek thru. The big hint is the PQD is zero -- and there is no mileage earning unless there is PQDs.

Nope, there are fares that earn RDM without PQD on UA. United helpfully covers them on the MileagePlus earning page for United.
But I agree, barring a bug (likely coupled with a rebooking or something), an award flight will not earn any credits at all.
