Weird.

Yes, this is SW way of saying that EB gives them an extra $10 but guarantees you no true value. It is simply a chance that you MAY get a better number than a random person checking in at 24hrs.

There has been a fault in the system of allocating boarding numbers for a long time. SW is aware of this but has chosen not to correct it. They are still willing to collect extra money and not provide the service being sold.
