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!

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.
