I know, which is precisely why I'm miffed. I'd like them to "extend" their target when it comes to those special emails for A-List. Yesterday, I received another "Victoria tell all your friends and family about the SW Visa (because I use mine a lot) and get up to 50,000 pts", yada, yada, yada. email/promo.  Years back I happily did so, but no more. I'd like to get in on the A-List bandwagon and NOT be constantly solicited to get CHASE BANK NEW CUSTOMERS. :-{ That's there job, not mine!!!!! ... View more

Makes me wonder if they only send those emails to those past A-Listers and those who were almost there, maybe that means within 1-3 flights. The year I was talking about, I was 7 flights short...that's close, right? I mean 18 flights in a year is a lot for most, but NOT ENOUGH for Southwest to even tease me with the promo. ... View more

I do, regularly, and HAVE NEVER SEEN this type of promo--only them trying to pimp my friends and family for the SW Visa. ... View more

I am subscribed to all marketing emails, and register for anythat may apply (bonus points for taking surveys, etc) What you've missed is that I DON'T RECEIVE THAT TYPE OF EMAIL for A-List help. All I ever get is the SW Visa promos.   I think they mkt to us based on yur past history, ie. I'm a strong user of my SW Visa, so let's see if she can get others to get the card too. I don't want to work for them or Chase, I want to work for me, and getting a sweet A-List. 😞 ... View more

Well, the colleague I mentioned did follow the instructions to a tee and achieved A-List in Mid-March, which he so happily shows me his boarding passes, so I can send him frowning emojis.   Glad for him, but still would like the opp'y to do the same.    Let's start a email revolution!  Anybody wit me? ...
