United Status Pros, question for you. I’m newish to United being my primary carrier (previously it was southwest and Alaska airlines). My team travels every few months across country and I’ve hit my PQF easily but seem to really struggle to make any headway in my PQP, I think they’re calculating at the mileage divided by 5. Any tips to maximize those points?

PQP is earned 1:1 to dollars spent on fare.

Ah. That makes sense.

You sometimes have the option of adding a Premier Accelerator to your flights, which will let you buy additional PQPs. Some United credit cards also give out a set amount of PQPs every year if you hit a certain spend.

End of the day, you're more or less just buying PQPs

Book higher price fares such as Y class tickets. Still economy but just full priced.
