In an unusual move, Southwest has retroactively added award travel segments flown from 1/1/22-9/19/22 to members’ accounts to help qualify for A-List or A-List Preferred status. Normally Southwest award travel doesn’t count towards earning status.
You can also register via the link above to have segments of award flights booked and flown after registration from 9/21/22-11/30/22 count for earning status. If you already booked travel, you’ll have to cancel and rebook to have it count. Unfortunately these flights won’t count towards earning a Companion Pass.
You will also earn double points for paid flights booked and flown after registration from 9/21/22-11/30/22. If you already booked travel, you’ll have to cancel and rebook to have it count.
You can earn Southwest A-List status with 25 flight segments or 35,000 tier points in a calendar year. You can earn Southwest A-List Preferred status with 50 flight segments or 70,000 tier points in a calendar year. You can read more about Southwest status here.
You can also earn status points through spending on the Southwest Consumer Premier, Southwest Consumer Priority Card, Southwest Consumer Priority Card, Southwest Business Premier, or Southwest Business Performance card.

I have the Plus card. If I upgrade the card to the priority or premier card, do the ponte I’ve earned from spend on my plus card now count to tier qualifying points since spend on the priority or premier count towards status?
