Southwest "Wanna Get Away" Devaluation

[crazymomof4]

I did a search of this and didn't find anything, so I hope I'm not repeating something that has already been discussed............

In addition for finding out that I just missed the Southwest card's 50,000 points promo (ended Nov 18th- so MAD at myself!!) I also got further bad news when I was researching this......
"Southwest Rapid Rewards is a fixed-value program that has been pretty generous with their Wanna Get Away fare redemptions. Currently you can redeem for any seat and 60 points = $1 worth of Wanna Get Away fares, which means you get 1.67 cents per point. However, starting March 31, 2014, Rapid Rewards members will need to redeem 70 points per $1, bringing your value to 1.4 cents per point."

I just recieved this promo in the mail last week. I get it every so often so maybe if you sign up for their emails or something you might get some type of offer in the mail. Maybe?
