“We constantly strive to provide our loyal Customers with the best program, so to receive the official title of the Program of the Year means a lot to us,” said Jonathan Clarkson, Southwest’s Senior Director of Loyalty, Partnerships, & Products. “Our Customer-focused loyalty program offers a unique combination of Customer Service, award availability, and program value.
