New Awards Visa program is a 34% reduction is Awards benefit using SWA Visa card.
Sample benefit analysis below
Wanna Get a Way round trip cost between Sacramento Ca and West Palm Beach Fl is $428. Under old credit plan a round trip cost one award (16 credits x $1200 spent) or $19200. Assuming an award is on par with a Wanna Get a Way which it is not as the Award is work more.
Under the new Points program one round cost for a Wanna Get a Way (1pts per $ spent x 60 pts per $ flight cost x $428) $25680. For a Anytime flight it is equivalent to $52080 spent on SWA Visa.
This is a reduction of benefit of ((25680-19200)/19200) 34% or greater if an Award is valued at a higher rate such as an Anytime flight.
I love SWA and I have been a SWA Visa customer for 12 Years. Now I am not happy.
