When I finally started using the upgraded boarding benefits that come with my Southwest credit card, it honestly changed how I travel. I was heading out on a packed Friday flight and didn’t want to stress about boarding late. I paid for upgraded boarding, and a few days later the credit showed up automatically on my statement—no forms, no hassle. On that same trip, I had to tweak my return flight, so I called 8 3 1-2 9 8-4 2 1 3, and they handled everything smoothly while keeping my boarding benefits intact. From my experience, Southwest credit cards are great if you value early boarding, better seat choice, and flexibility when plans change.
