The new Southwest stinks on ice. They really know how to blow decades of goodwill in mere moments.
I paid more to fly Southwest just few months back. I will pay more to fly their competitors. I want Southwest to go bankrupt. Very good case study how to burn decades of goodwill
Agreed.

They just gave a mediocre sale of 50% off just-inflated prices, and the day after the sale ends, tease flyers with this insulting double-points if you book flights now (after that sale.) The double-points could have sweetened that weak sale just a little, but now they're dangling near-worthless points on jacked up fares.

Decades of goodwill ruined by a moment of insult.

It's Elliott Management, mismanaging. Not much SW can do about it as they see their decades long company being destroyed by goofballs with no vision

Oof, I feel ya. However, less competition is never good for the consumer. We live near an airport where Southwest is the primary carrier.
The Elliott group is going to squeeze every last penny out of them, then make them declare bankruptcy and sell off assets and gain as much as they can. It's really a shame when service industry players go public and start having to report to shareholders, especially extremely large ones.
It's a matter of time before your sentiments come true.

Points are worth about 1.4 cents each more or less. The major benefit of points now is that booking basic economy with them, you can cancel the flight and the points go back to the account, no expiration.

Do you have a link for that? I couldn't find it on a recent search.

Now that Southwest has eliminated free bags, what differentiates them from the competition? I'll try to avoid them completely.

Exactly! This was the primary reason why I always fly with SW and now that they no longer offer free baggage, what the heck is the competitive differentiator here? Now that SW is like every other carrier, I might as well go with the one that's cheapest.

The enshittification of SWA doesn't deserve FP space on Slickdeals. They are a shell of their former selves. Blew up decades of customer loyalty and satisfaction in a few weeks.

Do you know if we could still cancel, change flights if price drop without fee/penalty? That'd still be a good reason to fly with them.

Do you not believe me? Most recent example that I know of was a few months ago, they bought enough $AZPN stock to have an activist stake and tried squeeze some merger arbitrage from the buyer before it got bought out and they failed epically. Didn't squeeze a single cent more than the tender offer that was accepted.

Points have a set value. The conversion from dollar cost to points cost is just simple math. You're wrong.
I'm afraid it's you who is wrong. They switched to dynamic pricing a month or two ago. If you don't believe me, just search for a fare with points and you'll notice they're all round numbers now.

You can still cancel for free - you'll be issued a flight credit equal to your fare assuming you didn't book with points (points just go back to your account). One of the big changes is that the flight credit will now expire in 6 months for Basic fares and 12 months for the other fare types. Southwest got rid of the expiration dates a few years ago, but has brought them back which increases the risk that you'll lose your $$$ if you don't book another flight in time.

You can still change your flight, but there's nuance now. If you booked a Basic fare, you can only change to a higher tier fare (likely to be more expensive) - if you spot a cheaper Basic fare flight, your only option is to cancel your original flight and make a new reservation on the lower cost flight (not a huge deal, but it adds some friction). If you booked a higher tier fare, you can change to any type of flight you want by paying the fare difference or getting a credit which will be good for 12 months max.

Personally, I think the new hurdles can be managed (just book one-way segments to make it easier to cancel & rebook part of a trip), but I'm slightly more reticent to book a bunch of flights in advance given that travel credits expire. In recent years, SW has made it much easier to keep track of credits, but who's to stop them from reverting back to the way it was pre-COVID.

Thank you so much for explaining. So if I want to play safe, I should buy points to book rather than paying with credit card? I recently got the 100k bonus points from Chase Saphire Preferred credit card. I could transfer those points to my SW RR to use right?
