The real question is which rule UA uses to determine if PQMs get credited to 2012 or 2013. I was initially told this is based on the day the flight arrives. But it appears it is based on the date of departure.
Case in point: I recently flew SQ and the flight left at 11:55pm on 12/31/12 (local time), arrived at 6:30am on 1/1/13. PQMs were credited toward 2012 (bummer because I had already used some of my FPMs to reach gold for 2013).
Has this always been the case? I could not find this spelled out in Milage Plus Program Rules.
