Continental Elite Qualifying Segments
 

With the WP program changes happening this year, I need to try and clarify a few things about Continental fares.

Is it still true that if I book a CO flight in A, C, D, J, Z, Y, H, or K class, and credit WP, that they will still count as qualifying segments?

NWA still has it clearly listed on their website:

The following partner inventory classes will qualify for Elite qualifying segments:

Airline Fare Class
KLM B P F J C Z Y S M
Continental A C D J Z Y H K
Alaska Airlines F U Y B
Air Alps Y B
Air Europa J C Y
Hawaiian F J P Y V
Malev C D M B

And an interesting sidebar. On my most recent CO flight, with an elite upgrade, my T ticket got posted a flew F, booked Y, so I got both the segment and the elite qualifying bonus for the flight. It was at the end of 2003 and I didn't need either to get me to Plat for next year, but it was interesting to see.
