Hi,
I need some help figuring out if this system would be good for me or not. I imported my 2010 account history, and it says I would have had 99,412 points. What does that get me in this new system? Please advise, thanks! |
TQP question
Does anybody know if the bonus points earned by A-List and A-List+ are also TQP. IE, if you're A-List Plus, do you need to do the equivalent of 35,000 points to re-up (35,000 base plus 35,000 bonus) or would you need to do the same amount of paid flying as someone starting off as a base member?
Edit: It looks like from the point simulator that "bonus" points don't help you get to a tier any faster. |
A lot of the discussion has so far been focused on redemption. It must be highlighted that one ver significant loss is that I can no longer "double-dip" between flight credits and partner credits to earn another CP.
I have a feeling that greater than 25% of current (or up to 12/31/2012) CP holders will be dropping off. Although I did dilute my WN flying towards the last two quarters of 2010, my RR 2.0 point total for 2010 was less than 75,000...A-List Preferred handily but well short of CP. :( Additionally, as noted above, still no elite privileges for the Companion (even though all CP's will now be A-List, right?). :confused: And lacking a "family pooling" feature, how about a share/gift points mechanism between RR members? |
Two questions for SWABrian (or anyone else with knowledge)
SWABrian -
First - as of 3/1/2011 - will the A-List members go to to A-List only or will some of us go to A-List Preferred? For people like myself (who flew 50+ one way trips) last year - should we not be classified as A-List Preferred for the rest of 2011? That would make the pain of transition a lot more tolerable (and likely keep me on SWA vs. going to AA full time). Second - for my CP holders - do all of our CP credits in 2010 just go away (with none of them counting towards CP renewal when 3/1/2011 hits)? My CP expires 12/31/2011. I have 16.5 credits in Nov/Dec that - if I am reading everything correctly - will be worthless under the new RR 2.0 CP qualification. While a great number of people will benefit with a few free months of extended CP use - are people like me just up a creek? Please advise. Thank you. |

If you do LAX-PHX a lot, there's another airline at LAX T1 that you really ought to look at very seriously. |
NOT HAPPY
My CP expires 4.30.11 so it will under 2.0 be extended until the end of 2011. But I've already got 110.5 credits toward my next CP. I get nothing for those. Net net I lose 6 months of a CP which I've already qualified for under the old system. So much for grandfathering.
Raw deal for me. |

WN was generous in giving normal A-List and CP extensions to the end of 2012 but without A-List Preferred, as I posted previously, I do not have much incentive to fly WN at all in 2011. |
are you talking about us airways? why would they benefit me? id be happy to switch to them...but never thought they were any better fare wise/award system wise than southwest?

Raw deal for me. I'm in a similar situation (already have my 100 credits and my CP expires 5/31/2011). |

confirmation on CP extension
I heard back from our Marketing folks on this issue. A lot of you have asked what happens because you have a CP expiring after March 1, but you have already earned enough credits for a second CP. If you are in this group, your CP will be extended to 12/31/2012.

A-List Preferred...but 10,000+ points shy of CP.

The points similator told me I had 99,412 points in 2010. What does this mean for actual flights? How much money in WGA fares would I have received and be able to spend? Someone said I would have received A-List preferred status with 99,412 points..but 84,000 of these points were from my southwest credit card. Do points from the credit card apply toward a list status now too? I thought it was only flights. This whole system is way too confusing and i'm so annoyed that Southwest has done this. It was so cut and dry before.
