A-List Challenge
Just received what I assume is a targeted promo to get A-List this year by flying 3 RTs/6 segments between Jan 30 and April 30. I did some poor planning last year and finished with 23 paid segments, so it's nice I'll be able to get back to A-List pretty quickly this year. It'll make me much more likely to fly Southwest this year.
I completed last year's challenge but ended up not traveling like I'd planned to keep status this year.

I got this promo today with instant A-List. Last time I was A-List was in 2012 when they were trying to convert UA flyers to WN after coming to Denver.
My offer to extend through end of 2017:

Also received it - was A-List for 2015-2016, but didn't fly enough last year to get it for 2017. Was already planning that many trips between now and April, so nice to know I can get A-List again quickly!

There are two offers out there. One offer is to complete requirements and then
receive A- for balance of 2017.
The other offer is instant status thru April, but continued A-List through 2017, after meeting requirements.

I missed the fine print - good only through end of year. I was hoping it would apply through all of next year. Even if the 3RTs required BS fare I would have done that.

I got the non-instant offer. Lost A+ for the first time ever after it was introduced. You would think I'd get the instant...

I got the promotion too. My first A-list ever. I should easily get 3 more RT flights thru april and I hope to get 25 flights this year to have A List next year too.
