Quickest way for me:   Log in to your Chase account from your computer > click "Search" down in the transaction area > in the "Merchant or keyword" field type "UPGRADED BOARDING CREDIT" or "upgrade" then click "Filter".   This should show you a list of your upgraded boardings with the date and amounts of the credits.   For additional methods see this thread. ...

I am a Southwest customer but familiar with the Southwest career site: https://careers.southwestair.com/ Each job has its own set of qualifications so click through to a specific job when it is posted and you will probably see the following wording: "Qualifications: BASIC QUALIFICATIONS: Must have authorization to work in the United States as defined by the Immigration Reform Act of 1986." ...

Hi James, This is primarily a customer to customer forum so I don't know that you'll see an informed response from one of us. Also from my experience working for other companies I don't think you will see a public response here about your situation. If I was in your situation I would ask during the interview process. If it is a potential issue then it will give you a chance to discuss or to address any corrective action you've taken. If you are going to get a straight answer I would guess that is when you will get it. Good luck! ... View more

The Southwest Check Flight Schedules page currently states, "We are currently accepting air reservations through January 5, 2020. On August 15, 2019 we will open our schedule for sale through March 6, 2020. This date is subject to change! Please check back frequently."   That release date will cover all destinations served by Southwest.  The next release date has already changed more than once so check the page for updates.   For reference there is also a Knowledge Base article about how to navigate to the schedule release page. ...

@cinda389 I think this is the relevant portion of the Special Luggage (Sports Equipment section) wording, to include the $75 fee each way charge:   "Sports Equipment - Special Items The items listed below will be accepted as Checked Baggage for a $75 each way charge.   Surfboard/kiteboard, keels and fins must be removed and placed in carryon or checked baggage. Wind surfing board, keel removed and placed in checked baggage to prevent damage to the sail, boom, and other baggage." One other item to note is that depending on the time of year and destination there may be baggage embargos that limit special items.  Current (July 13, 2019) wording on the Baggage Polices page states:   "Baggage embargo:  A baggage embargo is in effect for Passengers traveling to Havana (HAV). For specific information about the embargo at each destination, visit our airport information page."   For Havana when you go to the airport information page there is a red exclamation point icon.  When you click on the icon it states:   "Airport Alert: Baggage embargo: Passengers traveling to Havana (HAV) will be limited to two checked bags with a maximum weight of 50 pounds and a maximum size of 62 inches (length + width + height) each. Boxes of any size will not be accepted. Service items such as wheelchairs and strollers will be accepted."   TL;DR version: most of the time you should be okay by paying $75 each way, just double check that there is not a baggage embargo. ...

From what I've seen on the discussion forums (I don't work for Southwest and I've never applied to work for them) the portal is where you will see the status of your application, to include any changes. My understanding is that so long as it shows in the portal you are still in the running.   Good luck! ... View more
