Is it true that you need a southwest credit card to redeem points for gift cards ? Doesn't look like you do, can someone confirm ?

How long after statement close did bonus points post? I met min spend, and points from min spend have hit my RR account, but the 50K bonus has not, yet.

Oh, impatient me. it's there, posted at the same time as the min spend hit.

I still have the same other question, however:
The companion pass goes by EARNING, not HAVING at one point, right? Meaning, I could spend some of my points before all 110K post, and still qualify for the CP, yes?

@meshugener..Thanks

Does anyone know where I can find out how many southwest points would be needed to fly from philadelphia to cancun ? I can't find any type of redeemtion chart on southwest that gives the points needed for international travel, like you can see for usairways..etc.

That's because they don't have one.

It's all based on price of a revenue ticket.

I'd like to know the answer to this as well. How long can I delay choosing my companion?

I don't know how long you can delay choosing companion or if there is even a timeframe at all. I do know, however, that you are allowed to change the companion up to three times per life-span of the companion pass. So it won't hurt to choose someone now and change later if necessary. Such changes can only be made by phone, by the way.

I don't get it.  If you have a direct link or know exactly where you saw it then just post it here.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

No, but they refund if you close the card soon enough.
I don't know the exact timeframe, but worked for me s few days after first statement closed.

60 days as usual but they tend to get annoyed about it (i don't know if there is any practical application of that annoyance but i have been told by one csr that she was making a note that i only get cards for the points)

My wife got the regular southwest rapid rewards credit card a couple of months ago and just got a solicitation in the mail to sign up for the premier RR card for 50K points. Any reason not to do this? I figure if they ask why she needs to, I could always say well she received the solicitation in the mail. I'm thinking cancel it after spending the money and telling them 1 is enough.

Also, I dont see any kind of code to be able to do it online, so I guess I'd have to send in the reply card, anybody ever send it in that way?
