Anytime a status match is offered, like the one Southwest is offering right now, if it works for you, it’s a sweet deal.  For a 90-day promotional period, Southwest is offering a status match to their A-List status. Then fly three roundtrip (or 6 one-way) flights within those 90 days and you’ll receive A-List status for a year.  If you have elite status on any other US-based airline, you’ll qualify for this match. A-List status perks include priority check-in, security and boarding, free same-day changes, and a 25% earning bonus for SWA Rapid Rewards points.

Here’s what you need to qualify:

1. Elite status on a domestic airline

2. Be enrolled (or join) Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards

3. Enroll here:

• First name
• Last name
• Rapid Rewards number
• Screenshot of current elite status with a US airline

Promotional status confirmation can take up to 12 business days. If you qualify for the promotional status, you will not receive an actual A-List card. Current A-List members whose status is expiring soon are not eligible for this match. Previously booked flights do not count toward the three-roundtrip flights needed for the full year status match.

There doesn’t seem to be a promotional end date……yet, so act fast to get in on this status match promo.
