A qualifying one-way flight is defined as a one-way trip operated by Southwest® from an origin city to a destination city, including any intermediate stops and/or connections on Southwest and excluding reward flights, charter flights, nonrevenue travel, and Companion Pass® travel. Members completing travel on flights paid with Cash + Points will earn Tier Qualifying Points for A-List or A-List Preferred status on the portion of the base fare that is paid with dollars. Points must be earned and posted to your Rapid Rewards® account prior to the end of the calendar year to count toward A-List or A-List Preferred status qualification.

The following won’t 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 Premier, Priority, Premier Business, or Performance Business Credit Cards (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.

Tier Qualifying Points are not redeemable for travel on Southwest Airlines or through the More Rewards site. Si tienes una tarjeta de crédito Rapid Rewards Premier, Priority, Premier Business o Performance Business de Chase, ganarás 1,500 puntos que califican para niveles por cada $5,000 gastados en compras elegibles con esa tarjeta.
