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.

Quote from Humm :
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.
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?
I'm not an expert on the most efficient way to acquire points, but, yes, paying for flights with points gives you more flexibility. However, you won't accumulate A-List flight segments if you book with points.

Chase transfer to southwest is 1:1

Considering swa points worth more than 1c, transferring makes sense unless you have better use for other flights or hotels

Thanks so much for your advice. I'll look into doing that.
