This means you'll earn between 12 and 24 tier qualifying points per dollar spent on your flights instead of 6-12X per dollar spent. Note that Rapid Rewards bookings and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/news\/southwest-rapid-rewards\/points-and-cash\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Cash + Points reservations<\/a> are ineligible to earn double TQPs.<\/p>\n<p>Your bonus TQPs will post within 72 hours of your flight's completion.

Every flight purchased with points and flown by <strong>November 30, 2024<\/strong>, counts as one tier qualifying flight. The bonus qualifying flights will post to your account within 10 days of flight completion.<\/p>\n<p>As a reminder, you need to take 20 qualifying one-way flights to earn A-List or 40 flights for A-List Preferred \u2014 that's assuming you take this route to elite status instead of earning the requisite tier qualifying points.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_174221\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/480\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-174221 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Featured-Southwest-Airlines-jet-in-flight-with-the-wheels-down-Vander-Films-Unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Southwest Airlines jet in flight with the wheels down\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Featured-Southwest-Airlines-jet-in-flight-with-the-wheels-down-Vander-Films-Unsplash.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Featured-Southwest-Airlines-jet-in-flight-with-the-wheels-down-Vander-Films-Unsplash-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Featured-Southwest-Airlines-jet-in-flight-with-the-wheels-down-Vander-Films-Unsplash-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Featured-Southwest-Airlines-jet-in-flight-with-the-wheels-down-Vander-Films-Unsplash-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Featured-Southwest-Airlines-jet-in-flight-with-the-wheels-down-Vander-Films-Unsplash-325x260.jpg 325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Credit: Vander Films \/ Unsplash<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<h3><span id=\"Earn_tier_qualifying_points_on_Southwest_credit_card_purchases\">Earn tier qualifying points on Southwest credit card purchases<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you've got a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/credit-cards\/southwest-rapid-rewards\/southwest-credit-card-offers\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Southwest credit card<\/a>, you'll earn 2,000 tier qualifying points per $5,000 spent.
