the reason i choose Southwests frequent flier plan years ago was you could book a trip using a reward for travel same day or next day without paying addition reward points to business traveler that is huge. you could use less points now and make out better if you book everything 6 months in advance with the new program but who wants to do that. i understand fuel is up and passengers are flying and there is less seats available and southwest needs to make a change but the could have just upped the points to earn a reward. for those who don't know every time they make a change its in there favor the program was better 5 years ago then it is now and five years from now it wont be as good as today. that is why new airlines will be created in the future . capital one has better programs now and you can fly any airline and get better reward dollars. i already have a capital reward card have had it for years and there program is better then what southwest will be giving us.
