This event tracks projected consumer spending patterns for Southwest Airlines through credit card transactions in a specific future month. It uses an index comparing spending levels to the same month in the previous year, with different markets reflecting various growth thresholds. The outcome depends on whether reported spending exceeds set benchmarks.
All markets in this event resolve based on the Carbon Arc Southwest Airlines Credit Card Spend index for August 2026, comparing it to August 2025. Each market has a distinct threshold (104, 107, 110, 113, or 116), and resolves to 'Yes' only if the reported index value exceeds its specific threshold. The determining value is the first report published by Carbon Arc, with any subsequent corrections or revisions disregarded for settlement purposes. The index reflects year-over-year percentage changes in aggregated U.S. credit and debit card transactions tied to Southwest Airlines spending, updated daily through Carbon Arc's transaction panel. Kalshi explicitly disclaims any affiliation with Southwest Airlines or Carbon Arc, and all related trademarks remain property of their respective owners.
This market resolves around Sep 14, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The final determination will match official data releases against the market’s defined categories, closing all positions based on the confirmed result.
Key signals include monthly consumer spending reports, economic indicators such as inflation or employment data, and any major announcements from Southwest itself. Shifts in travel demand, changes to credit card promotions, or broader consumer confidence trends can also influence trader sentiment and move prices in this market as new information emerges.
