This is true, and also is consistent with the offer they sent just sent out (referenced at the beginning of the thread). This new offer only names Southwest, and the email states that "A-List Preferred" status may be matched to Summit. A-List Preferred is achieved after 50 segments or 70,000 points. The basic "A-List" status will only be matched to Ascent, as referenced in the post by the Frontier customer service rep back in March of this year.
