A-list Perferred with companion pass and I will definitely continue flying Southwest. I welcome the change and been asking for assigned seating for a couple years now ever since the pre boarder scammers started getting out of control. I'm tired of seeing that one person paying for early bird check-in and saving seats for the entire crew who are boarding in C group. If open seating was such a great policy tell me why not one other airline copied that policy? I actually hope many of you do move on to another airline because that's more free space on Southwest to stretch out.. Just remember the grass isn't greener on the other side especially if you've been flying non-stop on Southwest. Enjoy those layovers elsewhere as well as paying those baggage fees.

Actually they did poll all their loyal customers and over 80% of them preferred to do away with open seating. Everyone I talked to is excited about the change and all agree it was long overdue. So many that are boo-hooing are probably the ones who have been scamming the system. You know the ones claiming to have a disability so they can board first and bring a friend along. The ones that need wheeled down the ramp in that wheelchair on the departing flight only to jump off and dash off the plane on their own two feet upon landing. And of course with can't forget the ones that would purchase one early bird check-in and then save an entire row of seats for the friends who are boarding in the C group.
I totally disagree agree with you, open seating is terrible. Guess you'll have to move over to another airline with an open seating policy. Oh wait, there are none. Maybe that should tell you something.

Finally, thank you Southwest. As in a list preferred number for nearly a decade, this is Christmas in July for me.

One of the new A List Perferred perks is 2 free drinks coupons. How do I actually use those being there's not a physical coupon to hand them. It does show up to free drinks on my boarding pass I believe.

In the past my points have always been added to my account the same day or the next at the very latest. For the record it's 2 days and if 4,500 points were added to my A-list there's no reason why they shouldn't have been added to my Rapid Rewards points and to my companion pass tracker correct?. My points activity for the 17th also show nothing was added to the account so there is an error somewhere.

I've had the credit card for well over 10 years now so I know exactly how it works. Usually rapid reward points are posted to my account within 24 hours of my billing statement. My billing cycle ended on January 17th. According to my statement I earned 21,587 points. Looking at my rapid rewards account today no points were added to my Southwest rewards points that are redeemable for flights and no points were added towards my Southwest Companion Pass. However 4,500 points were added towards my A List rewards tracker. So obviously there is a problem somewhere here. Would it be on Southwest's end or Chase's end? I emailed Southwest and got the standard form response which accomplished nothing. Who should I contact about getting this situation rectified?

Well when you have 15 pre-boarders in wheelchairs on your departing flight and only 3 of those pre-boarders who wait for a wheelchair to get off of that flight, I'd say that proves it. Even the flight attendants laugh about this. It's another miracle place they say as we depart the plane ourselves. Today I think it's pretty clear that this situation just continues to get worse. When your A-list preferred and have 30--40 people pre boarding before you with so-called conditions, something needs to be addressed.

One of my Southwest credit card perks is a few yearly complimentary business select upgrades to an A1-A15 boarding position. If I do this, will my Companion Pass Traveler automatically get assigned to that upgrading boarding position right behind as well?

Came across this article about Southwest limiting the number of early bird check-ins on select flights. Is this true and has anyone experienced it?

Somehow I managed to obtain A-List Peferred, must have done so with the X Times Points Promo. When flying how do I use the Free Wi-Fi perk?

Seriously? That's pretty sad that you have to make a statement like that being the entire country has been dealing with a major storm and record breaking frigid temperatures the past few days. Thousands a flights have been canceled or delayed on every Airline, not just Southwest.

If I have a flight already booked for Nov 29th and I reach A-list status a couple weeks before my flight date, will I automatically be assigned an A-1 - A-15 boarding position for that flight?

Jessica, I've been missing the boat the past couple years by using an old Southwst CC that didn't qualify for the A-list perk. I recently upgraded to the Priority Card. I own a bar/restaurant and use the card for business purchases. I can easily rack up 30,000 points per month.

Hi gang, new to the forum and new to the A-list which I'm totally unfamiliar with so I have a couple questions. I'm I no longer required to purchase early bird check in for my flight being I'm now on the A-list which I believe gets me priority boarding? My wife always travels with me via the Southwest Companion pass. Will she also be able to board with me as an A-lister or do I still need to purchase early bird boarding for her and check her in separately ? Anything else I should be aware of? Thanks in advance.
