Booking flights with points count towards Alist segments?
Pretty simple. Trying to get my 25 flight segments to keep my Alist thru December 2019. If I book a flight with points, do those flights counts turns Alist earning segments?

Nope, unfortunately not. Only paid tickets. From the Southwest A List FAQ:
The following will not count toward qualification for A-List status: Rapid Rewards reward flights; Rapid Rewards Companion Pass travel; Rapid Rewards partner points except for tier qualifying points earned on the Southwest Airlines® Rapid Rewards Priority or Premier Credit Cards from Chase (as per the rules described below); bonus Rapid Rewards points, unless specifically designated as such; nonrevenue travel, unless specifically designated as eligible; stops at intermediate cities on connecting or through flights; and charter flights.

Yeah. I recently took advantage of the $39 sale and booked 5 day trips SAN-Bay Area. But I’ll still be 1 round trip away from securing AList. I got quite a few points lingering so figured I could try to use some.
