Need some status advice... already have United 1K for 2018. I'm 3 flights from also hitting Southwest A-list (already have companion pass). Worth the $250 mileage run??

But I already have companion pass (my gf is free anytime I fly) so there's some decent value there (namely priority boarding)

No...southwest should be avoided all together for business travel

How do you have companion pass but not A-List?

P1 - nope I got my companion pass by getting both CCs but still had to earn the status the old fashion way

Do it.

Do it, that way you can earn the CP quicker next year with the earning bonus that accompanies A List

How do you have companion pass and not a list?

Congrats! Also feel a little sad for you... that’s a lot of travel...

It’s worth it - I have 1K and A-List. It’s nice not obsessing over when to Check-in on Southwest

Pwc1 - qualifying points count towards both though... and you would qualify for A-list then A-list preferred, then companion Right?

*TC1

If you're going to fly SWA next year, then do it

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through.

Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
