Gender?
 
Your company is now forcing me to re-verify my gender EVERY time I buy a ticket.

I've had that acount ever since they went online back in the 90's. My gender has not changed AND WILL NEVER EFFING CHANGE! Is this some kind of woke-ass virtue signalling??? Anybody who actually wants to change their gender can easily figure out where to do that in their account. Don't have to rub in everybody else's faces. WTF over.

Rant off.

We asked for it in the re-write, glad it’s been implemented

Dude. Southwest’s tech is known for being bad. I guess if you want “America First” policies like being unable to take foreign currency you’re going to need to accept an app that doesn’t remember your gender.

Yet it doesn’t have any issues remembering his credit card number on file the second time around.

SWA has the culture advantage. Just trust them.

I have to use Apple Pay because of how bad the native credit card processing is.

Yes, it rembers all of them. And everything else going back for many years.

I posted in irritation because it wouldn't let me just buy my ticket without fixing an error, and it took me a good while to figure out that it conveniently forgot my gender.

Lighten up. It isn't a conspiracy to reaffirm your gender identity, it just that their website is THAT bad. I was buying a ticket for my wife the other day (female, btw) and couldn't figure out for the life of me why I kept getting an error saying her rapid rewards number doesn't match her name. I went round and round for about 15 minutes, retyping everything. Same generic error. Finally I took a random shot at removing her middle initial (which, by the way was automatically populated by the computer since she was one of my travelers on my account). Bam. Fixed.
I have probably bought 20 tickets for her over the years using the exact same process and this is the first time I have had this problem. Terrific.
