Just called into the Dallas RR customer care line. After initially being told that the credit/bonus system of the old CP program was similar to the new CP program in that bonus points would count towards CP qualification, I was put on hold for 30 minutes only be told that no, the rules have changed and that bonuses earned by 'extra' points from rental cars (those in excess of 600 points) and 'tier' bonus points earned from booking flights as an A-List member would *not* count towards CP qualification.

So, regardless of your A-List status, if you book an any-time fare, for example, you will only get 10x the amount of the fare as points that will count towards CP qualification.
