No need to double post.  That just complicates matters.   You haven't "lost" any money.  Your 2020 pass isn't "worthless".  You're just mad that they extended the pass for free due to Covid.  Oh well.  Life goes on.  You made over $1600 in RR points.  Last I checked, that's worth more than $1000 in Disney dollars.   Yes, you weren't able to game the system to maximize your benefit due to Covid, and SW extending the 2020 CP for free.  So you're EXACTLY where you'd have been had Covid not hit.  And yet you're complaining?   Next time, I suggest you dig out your crystal ball and see what the future has in store.  This way, you'll maximize your benefit, and not get mad when someone gives you something free that you already worked for.    Or you could just think about things more realistically.  That's what I do.  (I also have that "worthless" 2021 CP) ...

Did Southwest prohibit you from taking your flights?   If not, I don't see how the airline is responsible.   By that logic, Southwest shouldn't have extended anyone's Companion Passes (or A-List status).   But they did.   The point being made is that all CP holders received some sort of accommodation, except those who had earned it this year. ...
