Wouldn't it be cool to be able to use Points to pay for EarlyBird?

Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to use points to select EarlyBird?  My guess is it would cost 900 points per leg.  I would do that!

EarlyBird Check-In exists as a profit center for Southwest, earning over $250 million last year alone. As such, they only allow credit cards for purchase. The point of the product is to generate income. I do not expect they will ever allow points to be used for EBCI purchase.
