The purchase has been done already but don't think they are offically merging until May 2012 or something, but anyway:
Currently Airtran has a Visa and a Visa Signature through Barclay
Southwest has a Visa and a Visa Signature through Chase.
Do you think they will continue to offer both cards and they will just start earning Southwest points instead of A+ or do you think 1 bank will buy out the credit card and just offer a Southwest Branded Card?
Didn't British get bought or or did they do the buyout and they had a card through USBank, what happened with those airlines and credit cards.
I ask because I currently have a Southwest Signature card joint and I am trying to be removed from it and since Chase was in my bk before they would not approve me to get my own card, so was thinking I would go to Airtran and if it merges into Chase like Wamu, I could get myself back in the door.
It'll definitely go to Chase. Most if not all of Southwest's current products/services will remain in place.
To tell you how Barclays handled a recent change in an airline program, I had a Spirit Card with Barclays. Spirit switched to FIA (owned by BOA). They did not transfer any accounts at all to BOA, I got a Rewards Barclaycard as a replacement. I applied with FIA for the new Spirit card, and was turned down solely because of a 6 yr old Bankruptcy. I have a mid 5 digit credit line card with BOA (since one year after discharge, from BOA before MBNA) and a perfect record on it and the Barclaycard.
