Keeping A-List Preferred perks promo
 

I received an e-mail from Southwest in mid-August stating that they were making "it easy to enjoy another full year of A-List preferred benefits". "Simply fly two qualifying round trips or four qualifying one-way flights between 8/19 and 11/19/2021 to keep your A-List Preferred benefits through December 31, 2022" "This offer applies to all flights taken 8/21-11/19 regardless of when they were booked, including reward travel. No registration required."

I have completed 4 one way trips over a week ago and checked my SWA account today. They extended A-List Preferred benefit thru 2022 has not showed up in my account. Any info on when to expect this to happen?

Thanks in advance.

The other part of the offer language:
"A-List or A-List Preferred tier benefits status confirmation typically takes place within 4 weeks."

Verified that this is "within 4 weeks" of flying the qualifying flight (not within 4 weeks of the last flight date of the promotion).

Thank You HighFlyinChar and SWA Victor.

The question is, has anyone seen an extension? My 4 weeks is up this Saturday and I haven't seen a change. 4th flight (completion of 2nd round trip) was on 9/18.

I reached out on social and they confirmed that I have met the criteria and that it may take longer than four weeks

Interesting. While some of the majors are extending the status automatically, Southwest wants to score a quick buck. Can't fault them for trying.....

Jiburi

it’s also interesting because an earlier promo gave me the status instantly but not this time

No response to my Twitter inquiry...

Wondering if two one ways plus 1 round trip will work for this or not?

The offer said 2 round-trips or 4 one-ways. If this was a deal made with the devil at the crossroads, yeah, he'd own your soul by now. Fortunately for you it's Southwest, not Old Scratch.

I an gonna guess you are fine. They would prefer to just say 4 trips... but people get confused. Some people only consider a RT as a trip. Others treat each flight as a trip - and a change of planes as two trips. (wrong of course). And others consider each trip from A-B as a trip no mater how many stops along the way.

I think SWA will see it as 4 trips and could care less if booked as one ways or RT.

I am in the same position - have 3 segments with a round trip coming up in a week. Called Rapid Rewards Customer service and they said it would meet the requirement of four segments.

I assume 3 legs with seperate Record Locators would count for 3 of the 4? ie. Fly CMH to MDW. (1) and then CMH to DAL (2) - booked as 2 trips even though I could have booked as a OW trip. Then return DAL to CMH. Correct? PS I already have a OW a couple of weeks ago to get me to 4.

As long as you have a total of 4 segments, you can mix and match roundtrips and one-ways
