Changes to PQM Earnings on Partner Airlines and United’s Response

by John Ollila
January 5, 2013
Reading Time: 1 min read

It was reported earlier in the week on FlyerTalk that United had been changing the elite qualifying (PQM’s) miles that you can earn on partner airlines. United didn’t make any official announcement about this change, but rather than just updated the tables on its website.

I just went through all the United’s PQM earning partner airlines and compared the current charts on United.com to what I was able to pull up from Google cache. This also confirms what United representative posted.

Conclusion

It is unfortunate that United lowered so many of its partner airline PQM earnings on premium cabins to just 100%. At least, they are willing to credit per the previous chart, if your ticket was issued before the changeover date. It is likely that you need to contact United to have it credited manually, however.
