Oh My Gosh!! You solved my problem!! I've talked to two SWA agents (CURRENTLY ON HOLD FOR 20 MINUTES) who didn't know that.  So for points to be Tier they do not earn the bonus if you're an A Lister. They are only the base points. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ... View more

Did anyone win anything?  We had 4 family members try for 7 days (28 spins) and didn't win a single point.   Is that suspicious or what!  The statistical odds of NOT winning a single point must be astronomical. Does anyone believe they really awarded 25 million points? ... View more

@jasonburgess wrote: I have both of the SW business credit cards that come with the perk of up to $500 in credits for points transfers on each card per year for a total potential credit of $1k. Last year, I used it to transfer a portion of my points to my daughter and son in law's account to help them get away for their honeymoon. I'm thinking of referring my wife for the SW personal CC while the bonus is at 85k points. Will I qualify for the business CC points transfer credit if I use my card to transfer Her new points into my RR account? The reason is that I would prefer to use my A-List Preferred status when booking our travel. But agreed - giving your kids a “no questions asked” transfer is different than your wife’s account you can just book tickets from her points for anyone including yourself and the passenger’s status will still apply.    ...

I agree that ti takes a lot of flying to get and keep the status.   But if you are A-List, how is it that you are just now complaining about something that changed over a year ago? If you fly at least 25 one ways a year, surely you should have noticed that the coupons were missing (multiple times) a long, long time ago. ... View more

It makes sense that qualify for 2024 companion pass because you can still qualify for 2024 during 2024.  If you do not currently have a CP then these count toward earning it for the remainder of the year.   From what I am finding is these types of promotions do not give points until sometime after the end of the promotion period.  I received points for this specific one just this week so they seem to be taking close to 8 weeks to process the points. ...

That’s what I thought. But no one from southwest or chase can explain why I only got 4,500 tier points on $21,000+ in spend.  ... View more

@kingsmatt80 wrote: Also if you want to earn another SW Credit Card signup bonus you will be eligible 24 months after you earned your last signup bonus.  You just need to cancel your current card (ideally before the 2nd year's annual fee hits).  Then wait a minimum of 30 days before re-applying for the new Southwest card. Seems like rules may have changed recently. I last received a SW credit card bonus back in October of 2021 so I expected to be eligible when I applied again in December 2023. I was declined so I called and was informed that cardholder must wait 24 months after receiving any bonus miles from the previous credit card and that I had received a dining bonus in September of 2022 so I will not be eligible again until September 2024. Bummer. ... View more

I don’t unfortunately, but I emphasized “What’s the point of booking through Chase?!” a few times and explained that SW would allow me to change my flight without issue. I’d keep trying and asking to speak to a supervisor. I’m sorry, and I hope you get this resolved soon!  ... View more

I believe that both of us supported the user's original comment.   Yes, with more competition the price goes down.  Yes, we celebrate that observation and both are raising our glasses in toast!   It was great insight.  Not sure what your concern is, however, we both supported the OP. ... View more

That depends on what the T&Cs say about when Chase will credit the points. Do you have to wait til after 1/12 or if you pass $6k before your December statement closes will it be sooned.   I have not seen the T&Cs ... View more

It seems like there might be a misunderstanding or miscommunication in the process. If you have concerns about the offer or the application process, reaching out to the specific customer service for the credit card or the airline might provide more accurate and detailed information. ... View more

@CupCrusher40 wrote: Does FBI know about checking your flight everyday to get flight credit? Does not want to look suspicious There's nothing illegal or suspicious about checking Southwest's Low Fare Calendar daily for fare decreases. I check this frequently for both my airfare and Southwest Hotels reservations and have locked in some decent flight credits, fare and square!   That's the beauty of Southwest's No Change Fees policy. As long as you're using the airline system for lawful activity, there's nothing wrong with checking for fare changes everyday to receive flight credit when prices drop.   That being said, if federal law enforcement like the FBI suspects one is using the airline system to conduct separate illegal activity, of course they will investigate the matter and airlines like Southwest will fully cooperate with the federal law enforcement agency in question in providing information related to the person's trip in question. Same for the state and local level. ... View more

As an FYI- you can remove individual(s) from a flight reservation bought with points without torpedoing the whole reservation. There is the of credit of the $11.60 RT taxes which you can then apply to the companion when added (as long as it's the same person, if it was a WGA point fare.) Recently did this successfully online for a couple of flights next year after I got my CP for 2024. ... View more

Just tried it this morning and using the referral link only gives the new applicant a 50,000 point bonus.  Bummer. ... View more

No David we both have the Priority card so I don't think you need to mix and match the different tier cards they offer. ... View more

Good question and sorry I do not remember how long it took.  I am 99% sure the 20,000 point award is based upon when the friend is approved.  Not when they spend money with it or pay their credit card.  It was in the middle of the year for me so I did not pay close attention to when it posted. ...

Chase likes to typically take what they purport as eight weeks after the promotion closes to put the earned points into your account.  In reality they mean two months.  For example the 20% bonus points on spending promotion ran from 3/1/2023 - 6/30/2023.  I received my bonus points from this promotion on Monday August 28th.  Eight weeks after the end of the promotion was 8/25/2023 (which is what Chase stated as the date the awards points would post in the fine print of the promotion). ...

Just received mine this morning. They definitely waited to post these but glad we got them! ... View more

Today when I checked I received a "Customer Service Adjustment" for 6,000 TQP.  So case closed.  Apparently just took them a little bit longer.  And it seems it may have been manually entered.  Usually the system generated point awards are labeled "RR Credit Card Tier Qualifying Points" in my account. ...
