Southwest makes change with no change policy

Southwest wants passengers to keep the cash. Instead, they'll just take your credit card. The airline is doing away with those cash transactions for drinks and beer inflight. Beginning Sept. 9, flight attendants will only take credit cards or drink coupons. But don't worry, soda, coffee and tea are still free. And if you use your Rapid Rewards credit card onboard, you get double the dollars.

Double rewards is always a nice deal.

Another bonus that Southwest has offered from time to time is that the attendants won't charge me for the non-free drinks if the flight is late. This has happened to me twice. Maybe it's a coincidence, but both times it's been on the Tampa-to-BWI run.
