I am amazed that you already earned a 2021 CP pass in 2 months in 2020?!  Did you use your southwest card to buy a house?  I do agree with your point though, you are 100% right.   ... View more

Yeah I mean it's only fair, right?  I urge anyone in this situation to reach out to SWA to let them know. It may have just been an oversight that they will correct, but more likely to do so it they hear from people about it.   Whether your CP ends on 12/31/2020 or 12/31/2021, we're all in the same boat right now with not being able to use the CP time we earned. But only one of the above groups benefits from an extension to 6/30/2021. Not to mention anyone who already earned CP before COVID19 hit this year did so with 125,000 points...and now it's going to require 100K because of the 25K CP point bonus benefit. So basically it's more points and we don't get an extension lol.  ... View more

 @ beavermba I agree with your premise from an earning standpoint but also disagree overall that it shouldn't matter to those who have CP thru 2021 because it needs to be considered from the standpoint of benefits timeline. We're all losing time we earned right now equally, whether your pass expires at the end of 2020 or the end of 2021. Everyone is grounded for the most part now.    Extending the pass benefits thru June 30, 2021 is a great move by SWA to help offset the time pass holders are missing right now, for those whose pass expires at the end of the year.   But for those of us who earned their pass this year before COVID19, it does nothing because we already earned our benefits thru 12/32/2021. So under the current announcement, people in this boat get nothing for time they're missing...time they earned. And on top of it, these people earned 125,000 points for it...and the 25K CP point refund coming our way also doesn't really matter since we earned it already.  Basically people who earned CP this year between 1/1/20 - present are left out.  ...
