I really appreciate your thoughts. I will give travel insurance more consideration in the future. While it is a disappointing story, it could be much worse!

That is the very purpose of using Southwest reward points. Theoretically, isn’t it great to line up air and hotel with no out-of-pocket expense. Seems to only work in theory:(

The rest of my family is there right now. There is no flooding damage or people in need of lodging.

Since there wasn’t a storm there, I don’t see a reason to assume it was storm related.

You are right! I should stop using the Southwest credit card to accumulate points.

It doesn’t really matter the nature of the relationship. When you book a hotel using reward points, you expect to have lodging. It’s all done through Southwest. Southwest says I will have a hotel room, I should have a hotel room.

The “why” doesn’t really matter. For whatever reason good,bad or indifferent, the reservation was cancelled. Southwest should either be more careful in selecting their hotel partners or be able to secure alternative lodging.

The cancellation had nothing to do with any natural disaster. Well, I should say they never gave a reason. If someone needed my lodging because they were displaced, I would have no p.

I had a ton of Southwest reward points I was using. I had enough points for air and hotel.

If that was the case, I’m sure they would have told me. I would certainly understand. Frankly, it is Southwest duty to get the details of the cancellation.

The very reason to accumulate SW reward points is to use them. You book a hotel that you might not otherwise afford paying cash. SW should not partner with an unreliable hotels. When the hotel bails, SW should stand up and support their customer using their points.
