I am not confusing them. I am aware of the difference between bonus and spend points.
The way the Chase rep explained it to me was that the 50k sign up bonus one gets from the CC would be considered "points issued on Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Credit Cards" which is why people who have 50k bonus + 50k bonus +10k spend get the CP.
I'm still waiting for my statement on my SWA card to close so I'm speaking from what the rep told me, not from experience.
I think that's the problem. In addition to the fact that you're asking a Chase rep to explain a SWA product, you're relying on what a CSR said.
Yes, thus far (in 2011) SWA seems to be including the CC
bonus as qualifying points. But there are many among this community who suspect if it will be the same in 2012, as the rules on the books seem to lean toward no.
