Emily Rogers+FollowSouthwest Card Fees Up—Are the Perks Worth It?Heads up, Southwest fans: your favorite airline just gave its credit cards a makeover. You’ll get perks like picking your seat and more points for everyday buys (think gas, groceries, and dining out). But here’s the catch—annual fees are jumping by about 50%. If you love extra legroom and want to rack up points on your weekly grocery run, it might be worth it. Just make sure those new perks actually fit your travel style before you swipe. #Business #MakeMoney #SouthwestAirlines00Share
Dr. Michael Henson+FollowSouthwest Finally Ditches Open Seating!Southwest is officially ending its wild open seating policy after 50+ years!

The cheapest tickets get you a random seat at check-in, but you can pay up for more perks. Honestly, this is a huge change—will it make you fly Southwest more? #Travel #SouthwestAirlines #TravelNews72Share
