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.

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.
Agreed.

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.
