canyonwalkerAt start of June I observed that I was already more than halfway to requalifying on Southwest for A-List Preferred and Companion Pass elite statuses. Now, 10 or 11 weeks later I've got them pretty much in the bag.
For A-List Preferred I'm just 500 qualifying points shy of the 70,000 required. I've got a plan to hit the target— and it doens't even require flying. I can get there with a credit card bonus I'll easily hit later this year.
For Companion Pass I'm almost 20,000 qualifying points short of the 135,000 required. As with A+ I've got a plan. Actually I have two plans, either of which gets me there— and neither requires any more flights. And also as with A+, they're both powered by credit card bonuses I can easily hit. I may even finish the year with nearly 160k qualifying points for companion pass vs. the 135k required. Too bad there's no rollover to next year!
Update, Aug 28: A quick, last-minute business trip on Southwest today put me over the 70k mark to renew A+ status. And with the addition of another business trip in early October I now have three ways to renew CP.
