Ditto here. We have a flight scheduled for next month. Wonder if I could call and get the rep to convert paid to CP.

They'll probably make some sort of public statement at some point.

They said on twitter it's a mistake.

Did they say they won't be honoring it?

Somewhat unrelated question, but if my wife has no credit, what are the odds of her being approved for the SW personal and business cards in order to earn the CP? I need to spend approx $12-15k in the next few months so looking for ideas. Thanks!

Was it the people who deposited the points that got the email or those with expiring companion passes. DW's just expired and I had just deposited points but no email for either.

Mine was expiring, but didn't deposit any points. Got the email.

Now I got this
"Today you received an email that incorrectly stated you had earned Companion Pass for 2017. This email was sent as a result of an error in our year end processing for Companion Pass status. Unfortunately you did not earn the status reflected. We recognize that receiving this email from us may have caused confusion and/or frustration, due to its inaccuracy regarding your 2017 status. For that, we offer our sincere apologies.

We admit this isn't the best way to start the New Year. That said, we appreciate your understanding when we make a human error like this one.

Sincerely,
Your friends at Southwest"
