That's an interesting thought. I haven't booked hotels (or rental cars) through SWA recently -- its just easier for me to do it direct through the hotel or Hertz rental site. Can someone confirm whether partner reservations booked through SWA are indeed treated as southwest.com purchases? I do not think they used to show up that way -- what about now, with the new and improved (?

) website and RR program?
