I have a roundtrip planned from STL->SAT via DFW, and another direct STL->ORD roundtrip booked.

Say this is my itinerary:
STL-DFW 1141
DFW-SAT 2213

SAT-DFW 1433
DFW-STL 96

Does the above qualify as 4 segments or 2?
four
From my understanding it should count as four due to all flights having different flight numbers and due to the layover in DFW.
correct

And if STL-SAT via DFW is 4 segments, if I combine that with my roundtrip to ORD, I should requalify for Gold without issue, correct?
That will be six segments so you should requalify without issue.
