Southwest makes a pitch for frequent flyers by making it easier to qualify for elite status

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:58:44 GMT

DALLAS (AP) — Southwest Airlines is lowering the requirements to qualify for the top levels of its frequent-flyer program, a move aimed at travelers who are unhappy with other airlines that are making it harder to reach elite status.Southwest said Monday that it will reduce by 20% the number of flights needed to qualify for its “A-List” and “A-List Preferred” levels in its Rapid Rewards program.The airline said it won’t change the number of spending-based points that customers can also use to qualify for either level, and it will make it easier to get those points using a Southwest-branded credit card. The changes will start next year for travelers aiming to hit elite status for 2025.Southwest’s moves contrast with Delta Air Lines, which drew criticism on social media last month after announcing changes that make it harder to reach elite status in its SkyMiles program and gain entry to its airport lounges. CEO Ed Bastian says Delta is reconsidering those changes.Under Southwest̵...

A map maintained by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) lets you examine which internet provider offers the fastest speed based on where you live in Colorado. It's simple to use. Start by typing in your address on the FCC’s website. You'll then see a list of provider options pop up, plus the types of technology they have (like copper or fiber, for example), as well as their maximum advertised upload and download speeds for that address.If you’re lucky enough to have multiple options, that last part is where you’ll want to pay extra attention, as internet speeds can vary greatly between providers at the same address.
