I just finished reading the thread on flyertalk.com discussing it there and peeps are MAD!!!!

I know a bunch of you gals here like to take the leftover credit from your family trips and pool it into 1 ticket for you on the gals trip, so I wanted everyone to have fair warning that this won't be possible after Jan 28, 2011...

Yah...it really is getting pissy of them....and how to keep track of whose belongs to who and if you cancel/rebook later...ughhghghghg - IMO I think they are hoping it turns into a hassle and peeps lose track and then dont use the credits. I have a har enough time with what I have left over for just general use - let alone now having to organize and think about who has what...... SWA has made some crummy changes in the past few months....EB is sucky, too imo. Wonder what's next.....

Chan, I actually liked the EB check in, although it was crazy that you could be pulled out of line for extra security in Orlando. For me, it was nice not to have to worry about getting online at the right time to check in and print boarding passes. We actually had the concierge print them while we were waiting for the valet to bring the car around!

I agree it's a nice convenience. I just never had any trouble ever in 15 or more years of using SWA getting an A! Now I have to pay for it We used to just check ourselves in or have concierge do it and then have sky cap peeps print the bps out at MCO. I agree it's a handy option but having never missed out on As before and now having to pay for it....I am bitter LOL

But seeing people pulled aside while in the EB boarding line and then what happened to DH both ways....

I am just not happy about change!!

We haven't been able to get "A" either since they started the EB. We usually get a low "B", but once we were pretty high up in those too, even though I was right on it.
