Rapid Rewards and A+ Rewards are committed to maintaining the recognition of our most loyal Members, and this is just the beginning of an exciting integration of two great frequent flyer programs. Stay tuned as we continue working to create the best frequent flyer program in the sky!
I am pretty sure you can if you transfer enough SW credits (120,000 pts = 100 AT credits = AT CP). http://thepointsguy.com/2012/04/movi...nd-vice-versa/, but you would have to redeem the credits to get it and that would effectively wipe out your 120,000 points.
Didn't this happen months ago? Is this notification going out as people are reaching A+ or rolling out in stages?
I got my notification some time back iirc...
I have been A List for a long time so I assume its rolling out in stages. I tried to search but didnt see anything (also I am not great at searching the forums).

Had to do a few searches to figure out the story; finally came up with this prior thread about WN A+ status match:
I'm A-list (getting close to +, but not there yet) and got this offer about 6 months ago, and have taken 5 RT on AirTran because of it (and the ability to flip those earned credits into Southwest points).
I've got to say, I'm 8/10 on free upgrades to Business Class on these AirTran flights, and it's a really nice product; as excited as I am about the merger, I'm going to be kinda sad to see the first-class part of AirTran go.
Sounds good, but I am still having trouble finding the AirTran ticket counter at BNA. Wait, I could use SDF. Nope, no service there. LEX works if I want to go to MCO (or through ATL ARRGGHHH!), but it is iffy as I can do MCO on WN from BNA.
If I could just connect.....

LEX is being discontinued next month, right?

+1000.
AirTran's product is better overall, but WN has done its best to destroy it. XM radio is gone...and Biz Class is next.
