Elite Status Question
I will be 1 segment/point away from flying 10 segments in the past 90 days.
If I do business class instead of coach for my last roundtrip trip will that qualify me for elite status? Do the 1.5 points I get for business upgrade count towards the elite status 10 segments/points? |

The additional .5 credit is a bonus credit. Only actual flight credits count. You must fly 10 one-ways in 30 days or 25 one-ways in a year to qualify for elite status.

On the first link, it states: "When you earn 10 or more A+ credits flying AirTran Airways within any 90-day period..." To me, I would think the 1.5 credits are earned flying AirTran and thus would count towards the count. Too bad if this isn't the case... |

Elite Level: Beginning April 22, 2009, A+ Rewards members who earn 10 or more A+ flight credits in any 90-day period or 25 or more A+ flight credits in any 365-day period will be qualified for Elite status in the A+ Rewards program. A+ Rewards flight credits are only those A+ credits earned by flying AirTran Airways and do not include A+ Rewards one-half credits earned for flying in Business Class or other A+ Rewards credits. |

They really should explain the difference between an actual flight credit and a bonus credit, I agree.
That's why savvy folks like yourself use FT though. I have found that many of their call center associates and customer relations reps. do not know all of the parameters of the program. I have found at times that I know more than they do. |
