PQP for Main Cabin Extra (E+?) vs Bundle

I previously read that any money you spend for main cabin extra seats earns PQP. I just recently completed a trip where I bundled the main cabin extra seats into the fare. It was cheaper this way to do that. However, after completing the trip, I only got the PQP for the base fare and nothing for what I spent to add the extra seats. Does anyone know if the PQP for "bundle main cabin extra" (nothing else was bundled with it) are excluded from this option? I also did not get any reward mile credit either for this. Is that also typical? Though not critical now, this would definitely affect what I do in the future. Thanks!

EconomyPlus seat purchase?
If this is what you talk about, it should count as part of PQP.

The additional PQP from ancillary purchases do not post instantly after completion of flight. Wait 2-3 days.

Post separately, not as a part of the fare posting

correct, only the fare portion earns miles.

On UA, E+ access is not a part of the fare. The fare classes for E+ is the same as all of economy. E+ access is a seat fee, not a change of fare class.

That's great to know. I didn't realize it would post separately. Thanks!
