They have been doing this for years, if you already have the card just click - 'no thanks, just take me to TV'   I don't think current card holders are eligible for any of these bonus awards.   ... View more

Will there be a time I will need to remove it for scanning or xray?  If you carry it in its own original case you can bring it as an extra item - if it fits in your carry-on that's fine too, but you won't count it as a third item though.   I'm not 100% about the TSA, with PreCheck they don't need you to take it out and many airports with the new scanners also won't. Some sites may if they have the older scanners and non-PreCheck.         ... View more

@dfwskier wrote: If the left 2 fair boxes show prices is the flight not sold out? No - in rare cases I've seen BS apparently sold out while there were still WGA fares left.   1-15 - get them while they are hot!   I don't think there should normally be any limit on Anytime though - if Anytime is sold out, the flight is sold out.   All of the others could be blocked from sale for one reason or another but still have seats open.       ...

I assume that 75K in points are not TQP ... you'll just get them in your RR bank.    I also noticed that TQP for A-List/ALP has this quirk on the EOY earning page regarding when points post: "Within 30 days of the statement closing date, after spending $10,000."    https://www.southwest.com/html/rapidrewards/eoy-tier-communication.html   For Companion it doesn't say anything about a 10,000 spend. So does that mean you don't get any AL/ALP TQP points for the first 10K of spend on your card?! That's ... a lot of lost points lol. I know most people are going for Companion anyway, but I'd be happy just staying AL year after year lol, Companion feels like a long way off for me even with the card.    --Jessica It turns out, I misunderstood this entirely. Any points you earn with a RR CC go towards your Companion Pass balance and your general RR balance - not your A-List balance. The only CC points that count for A-List are 1,500 points per 10K spend. That's it. So the card is really only beneficial for Companion Pass and increasing your RR balance.    --Jessica ... View more

I’ve flown my qualifying segments as of 10/31/21 and had 4 different SW reps tell me I’ve qualified for A List renewal for ‘22. Yet, my account has not been updated to reflect it. Just this morning, I was told that they see in my record that I’ve qualified, but that no one’s will show up until a system-wide update on 12/31. Obviously, that’s false based on what some have written on this thread. I’m concerned because I have one more (expensive!) flight in ‘21 I can convert from a points to a paid business class fare to qualify. The rep this morning said I “absolutely do not need to do that.”  Thoughts from those more experienced than I in dealing with Southwest? ... View more
