I just logged into my Southwest account, and was very surprised to see that my account is showing:
- 12 out of 25 flights flown towards A-List
- 20,506 out of 35,000 points toward A-List
As well as:
- 27 out of 100 flights toward Companion Pass
- 30,506 out of 125,000 points towards Companion Pass
Two things are strange about this.
First, why are the CP flight numbers and points so vastly higher than the A-list ones, when they are both supposed to be measured during 1 calendar year?
And second, I have only flown 2 revenue flight segments this calendar year, and I do not have a Southwest credit card! And the flights were only worth ~2,700 points each!! How the heck do I have so many tier-qualifying flights and points?!?
Even if they included all of 2019 and 2020 in that calculation, it still doesn't even come close to reality. I flew on Southwest maybe 2 or 3 times, at the most, in 2019. And one of those wasn't even a revenue flight, it was booked with points (that I transferred from Chase UR).
I'm very confused. Delighted, but confused. How in the world did I get so many tier qualifying flights and points when I have done almost no activity with Southwest in the last 2 years? Was there some sort of promo that I'm not aware of? A google search turned up nothing.
So how in the world am I so far into earning status with Southwest? Can anyone clue me in?

"We are making it easier for Rapid Rewards Members to earn tier status and Companion Pass this year by giving everyone 15,000 tier qualifying points (TQPs), 10 qualifying one-way flight segments toward tier status, 25,000 Companion Pass qualifying points (CPQPs), and 25 qualifying one-way flight segments toward Companion Pass."
