This is a greedy move on Southwest's part to sell more Business Select flights. I say use the money that you would pay for an "upgraded" businesses select flight to pay for a whole other round trip. There is an average of $120.00+ difference between the Wanna Get Away price and Business Select price which gives you a 12 points per dollar reward vs. a 6 points per dollar reward. I'd rather just use that $240.00 to buy an entire round trip at the Wanna Get Away price. You're not rewarding frequent flyers, you're rewarding people who pay more for flights. Greedy move Southwest, and anyone who pays more for flights to get rewards faster is well....
However from a business perspective, Nice move Southwest. You found a way to reduce free flights while boosting your profits!
