On United - do you need to book Premium Economy fares to get Premium Economy PQMs? I.e., if you are gold, book economy and get the premium economy seat (from being gold), do you earn PE or E PQMs?

You do not earn extra PQMs for getting upgraded on any airline unless you paid for the upgrade using miles/cash

And even then, only sometimes. Some paid upgrades earn the original booking class miles, others earn the upgraded miles.

Premium economy on domestic flights gives you the same PQM as economy anyway, it's not a separate class of service in that sense.

Cool, thank you!

Growing up was rough. On my 8th birthday my dad had an accident that led to this death a few days later. He was a good man who took care of us all (I had 3 siblings now 2; lost 1 few years ago). I'm in a good place in life right now I only find myself in the last 5years shedding a tear once a while when I'm alone. It startles me because I was a tough kid who didn't cry and just soaked it all in and rolled with it. I'm almost 40 and can't explain what's happening with these tears.
