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.

I have had bad experience with SW points
those points are almost useless, when I used those points I got like 3x price increase per ticket, so I overpaid in points.
those points are not set as $ ratio, but set at any time costs in points for a ticket.
it could be 3000 points for $100 ticket or 1000 points or 5000 points, whatever SW likes
it's borderline SCAM IMHO.

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.

Interesting - that's good to know. I wasn't sure if it was held to the 6 month expiration or not. Guess I'll see if I can transfer my UR points to my Southwest account.

That's always been the case. Any trip booked with points can be cancelled at any time and the points go back to your account.

They also cancelled free checkin bags. But if you have the sw card there is one free allowed, similar to united policy for their card member.

Points have a set value. The conversion from dollar cost to points cost is just simple math. You're wrong.

This was the main reason why I flew SWA last winter to visit family for the holidays.
Now that they've taken away everything that made them unique I'd rather just pay a little more for a direct flight on Delta or American.

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

Companies have successfully fought off Elliott's activism before. They could have fought harder.
