Upgraded Boarding Credits Once Assigned Seating Happens?

[sarahfelldown]

Hi! I have the Premier level SW credit card, which includes 4 free upgraded boardings per year. With the switch to assigned seating, does anyone yet know how they might adjust this card benefit?

The annual fee is $149, but currently you recoup that with the value of your annual travel credit and the upgraded boardings.

I’m sure they’ll adjust that card benefit in some way, but I was just curious if anyone has heard anything specific yet?

No.

IMO Southwest will implement assigned seating with a future schedule release.

That means you'll be able to use your upgraded boardings, as you have in the past, for at least the next 8 months.

Chill.

Hopefully by the time of your annual charge rolling around there will be some clarity. But the other airlines offer various seating and baggage benefits to card holders of their programs so I'm sure something yet to be announced will be provided.
