The author has held a Southwest Airlines credit card for over a decade, enjoying benefits like free checked bags and open seating. However, recent policy changes, such as the cancellation of open seating and removal of free checked bags, have led to frustration and a desire to cancel the card. The author is concerned about the impact on their credit score if they close this long-held account, especially as they're in a stable living situation and have no major purchases planned, raising questions about the balance between personal preference and financial implications.
I've had a Southwest credit card for over a decade... I've never had any complaints, despite the annual fee. I've been able to fly myself somewhere for free at least once every year I've had the card.
First, they canceled the open seating policy and announced they were adding higher class seats... Now, they've just announced they're ending their policy that allowed everyone a free checked bag.
I'm angry and upset with the company, and I would like to cancel my Southwest card... the card is basically useless to me.
I'm afraid canceling it will tank my credit score... how fast can I expect my credit score to recover?
