Just read through this thread..

1. I Got approved for the BA by reducing the CL on my regular chase CC to from 8000 to 4000, thus I had two Visas for 4K each.
2. what FFN? Family First Name!?
3. How much can you sell SW points for? And can you sell a 50K account? (P.S. Don't PM Me, I do not have it yet!)

2. FFN = Faster Free Nights.

Or 2 or 3 people applying with your FFN may (or may not) work.

So FFN here means Faster free nights!?

I thought so, but I don't remember seeing that field when applying.

I just applied for both the Southwest and the Sapphire Preferred using the 2 Browser Trick.  I got pending decisions on both.  So I called their lending department (reconsideration), and the representative just asked why I am seeking a large credit line from Chase since I have had a number of recent card applications (BA-March, CO-June-now canceled, Old UA-June-Now canceled).  I just said I was looking for a card for my business, etc..  Put me on hold for a little, came back and asked what Credit line I wanted on each card, put me on hold again, and approved both.  =)

It's a fixed rate, you should have browsed the thread and found this post (and the ones proceeding it):

50,000x1.865=$932.50
Via, http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/12941:

"With the new program you can redeem points for any seat on any flight.  For the regular “wanna get away” fare it costs 60 points for each dollar of airfare.  In practical terms this means for example:
A one-way LGA-BWI flight on 04/05 is $79.70 with tax.
It can also be bought for 4,140 points plus $2.50 tax.
So 4,140 points gets you a value of $77.20 ($79.70 airfare less the $2.50 tax required on the points ticket)
So each point is worth 1.865 cents (77.20/4,140), valid for redemption on all flights."

I was asking more about what people have gotten for them from others.

Sort of like when you listed what you've gotten in the past for your various points AsherO.

Has anyone gotten the annual fee waived? I am thinking about applying for it now, so prompt responses would be great!

If not, is there anyway to avoid getting slapped with the fee for the first year?

Thanks for the prompt reply. Applied.

What am I looking for in the source code to give to the rep? I also applied for Hyatt at same time.

wouldn't you prefer it expired at night? so that you can do it all tomorrow morning, rather than
frantically do it now?

Right, but elsewhere (multiple places), I've seen mention of 8/8 in the AM, so I'm asking Dan to clarify.
