Southwest is now on Priceline according to an email. Did I miss an announcement??

Looks like it was announced last week: https://www.swamedia.com/news-and-s...miles-same-great-MCBHHRNRGBNVFI5FQSSOIR3CSC3Q

Not sure I've seen that situation yet since reserved seats just dropped 7/29.

You want to start the change process and let us all know how it looks?

I checked the flight this afternoon and it had actually gone up in price so I didn’t attempt to change anything.

Just saved 4500 points each (so 9000 points total) by changing my basic fare. It was easy. I changed the current basic fare to choice (which cost more points, then changed the choice fare back to basic at the new point value (and got the choice points back). Kudos to @eticketplease for sharing the info on how to change a basic ticket- I wouldn't have thought this was possible (although it IS stated on SW's website).

Glad you were able to save points!!

Sorry I can't take credit for that as if it was something I posted it was just something I have learned here from one of many great posters on this thread such as @Mackenzie Click-Mickelson @TheOneWithTheTriplets @EACarlson @focusondisney
There are lots of great posters in this thread that I have learned a lot from as to be honest SW is not my favorite carrier but it is the only one I can get a direct flight to MCO with.

Credit card points came through today and I am starting to get concerned that we won't make Companion Pass for next year. We normally never have a problem, usually qualifying Sept/Oct and also usually make A List. I know they've restructured the point system, but this is kind of a gut punch, half the points we were collecting a year ago. If we don't make CP next year it just doesn't make sense to stay with SW anymore.

I do register for promotions often. There's one now but you have to spend $50K within 3 months, but that feels like an absurd amount.

That is great! Sadly, we could get 25K points back, but then we would have to pay bag fees. We do not have the cc and we booked in March, so right now there are no fees for us.
