Prom night turned out to be a bust for a high school senior who claims she was denied entry because of the size of her breasts. Brittany Minder of Silverdale, Wash. came to the school dance in a strapless gown designed for large-chested women, but staff didn't allow her in until she covered her cleavage with a shawl, the Associated Press reported. Minder said she has worn similarly-styled dresses to other Central Kitsap High School events. The prom's dress code allows strapless dresses only if the cleavage is covered. Minder's parents say their daughter was singled out because of her physique and they want a public apology, KOMO-TV reported. She stayed for only an hour because the ordeal "took the magic out of the night," she said, according to Gawker. The officials enforcing the dress code were acting like boobs, according to Kim Minder, Brittany's mom. "All women are not created equal, and you cannot compare a golf ball to a grapefruit. It ain't gonna happen," Minder told KOMO-TV.

After an apparently controversial campaign to write to Southwest, file DoT complaints, and raise awareness of the change on social media, Southwest agreed to give a 3 month grace period to transfer hotel points and have them qualify to earn Companion Pass status. Southwest has posted about their change of heart here. You can read Southwest’s response to people who filed DoT complaints here. If you earn 110K Southwest points by 12/31/17 you’ll earn Southwest Companion Pass status that will be valid until 12/31/18. With a Southwest Companion Pass you’ll get to bring a companion with you for free on all Southwest paid tickets, Southwest award tickets, and Southwest tickets booked with AMEX or Chase points, though you need to call AMEX or Chase to actually book travel on Southwest. There is no limit to how many times you can use the companion pass. Southwest still offers 2 free checked bags. Plus you can cancel revenue tickets with no charge and use the funds for a future flight.
Point reservations can be cancelled for free with the points redeposited back to your account! Until 3/31/17 Southwest will count hotel point transfers towards companion pass status. After that date they will no longer count. It’s worth noting that points earned from Southwest credit cards will continue to count towards companion pass status, even after 3/31. You can currently earn 50K points from both the Southwest Consumer Plus and Southwest Consumer Premier cards. You can also earn 60K points from the Southwest Business Premier card. However all are those cards fall under Chase’s 5/24 guidelines which makes them hard to get if you have been approved for 5 consumer cards within the past 24 months. Here’s How To View Credit Card Offers On This Site. You can view credit card offers by clicking on the “Credit Card Offers” tab on top of the DansDeals banner to view links for card offers. You can click on the link that says “View all card offers by issuing bank” and scroll down to view all card offers from the bank of your choice.
After clicking on the Southwest Consumer Plus 50K card offer you can scroll down to find the offers for Southwest Consumer and Business Premier cards as well. Hotel transfers made by 3/31 will combine with points earned from Southwest credit cards and paid flights to earn companion pass status by earning 110K points by 12/31/17. In other words if you earn 60K points from hotel transfers by 3/31 and earn 50K points from opening a credit card in April you will still earn Companion Pass status. -Transfers from Chase Ultimate Rewards don’t count towards Companion Pass. -You can’t transfer Starwood points directly to Southwest, but you can transfer Starwood points to Marriott at a 1:3 ratio and then transfer Marriott points to Southwest. -You can transfer 50K Chase points to 50K Hyatt and 50K Hyatt points into 30K Southwest points and those points will count for Companion Pass status. -You can transfer Chase points to Marriott at a 1:1 ratio. -You can transfer points to another Marriott member to complete an award.
-You can transfer points to another Starwood member living at your address. If you use the regular Marriott Rewards transfer chart you would need 310K Marriott Rewards points to transfer 110K Southwest points. However you can get a much better deal with Marriott’s miles+nights. 270K Marriott Rewards points would give you 120K Southwest points and 7 nights in a Marriott category 1-5 hotel. You’ll also earn Southwest Companion Pass status with that award! A transfer of 90K Starpoints into 270K Marriott Rewards points will make that happen. at 800-321-7396 if you want to book a miles+nights package. -It will take 2-3 days for the points to reach Southwest and your Southwest account will be updated to Companion Pass status within a few days of the transfer. -The 7 night electronic hotel certificate expires in 1 year, though Marriott currently will extend them for 1 additional year if you contact them. -You don’t need to choose the hotel at the time of a nights+miles redemption.
-The certificate must be used at one property for 7 consecutive nights. -You can have the certificate issued in anyone’s name. -You can use more Marriott points to get a higher hotel category certificate. -The 120K Southwest points transfer is the best value, but you can save points with a lower package if you don’t need 110K points for the Companion Pass. -You can upgrade your hotel certificate by paying the difference in points later on. -Some agents will refund 45K Marriott points (15K Starpoints) if you return the 7 night stay certificate, but not all agents will do that. You can view hotels by category and tier via the “find” button on this page. -120K Southwest points will net between $1,800-$2,400 of free flights. Thanks to the companion pass you can bring someone along for free, which will mean you can use those points for $3,600-$4,800 of free flights. Plus of course you’ll get a 7 night category 1-5 hotel stay. Not a bad deal for 90K Starpoints!
-If you wanted 7 nights at the tier 3 Ritz-Carlton Herzliya you would need 420K Marriott or 140K Starpoints for that stay and 120K Southwest points with Southwest Companion Pass Status. -If you wanted 7 nights at the category 7 Renaissance Tel Aviv Hotel you would need 330K Marriott or 110K Starpoints for that stay and 120K Southwest points with Southwest Companion Pass Status. There is also a 5 night hotel+points option that can save you some Marriott points, but officially that’s only available for Marriott timeshare owners. 5 nights and 120K Southwest points would cost 235K Marriott points. That’s 35K fewer Marriott points than are required for the 7 night package. On rare occasions some reps will book the 5 night packages for non-timeshare owners. You can buy up to 30,000 Starpoints per year here. Points cost 3.5 cents each. You may be able to buy points for less than that on the grey market. 30K Starpoints would set you back $1,050. If you have a Starwood AMEX you would earn 2.1K Starpoints for the purchase, so effectively you’ll have paid $1,050 for 32.1K Starpoints or 3.27 cents per Starpoint.
32K Starpoints converts into 96K Marriott points. If you already have most of the Starpoints and will utilize the companion pass then buying some points is a no-brainer. If you need more than 30K Starpoints you’ll have to buy them with additional Starwood accounts. You can freely transfer Starpoints between Starwood accounts that are located at the same address. Note that you need to wait 14 days from when you open a new Starwood account until you can buy Starpoints. You can buy 84,500 Starpoints using 3 accounts for $2,957.50. With the Starwood AMEX you’ll also earn 5,916 Starpoints for the purchase, leaving you with 90,416 Starpoints. Of course you won’t need to spend that much if you already have some Starpoints or Marriott points. You can convert 90K Starpoints into 270K Marriott points. Those 270K Marriott points can then be converted into 120K Southwest points and 7 nights in a Marriott category 1-5 hotel. You’ll also earn Southwest Companion Pass status with that award and that will make your 120K Southwest points good for $3,600-$4,800 of free flights when you bring along a free companion.
