Why not multiple cards? Why specifically this card?

He flies specifically Southwest once a week and has a frequent flyer account and buys his tickets on a regular CC but I told him he should get a Southwest CC to get 2x points. He flies for business I just didnt know if the benefits were diff for personal or business. He can't deal with having multiple cards for the same thing he's not a churner :)

SP gives 2.14 points for all airline purchases and you can transfer to Southwest.
IB/IP give 60K points today that can be transferred to Southwest.
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.

He wants to get a companion pass and he's already got alot of points from his frequent flyer miles with Southwest. He wants to have all his points in one place and wants to combine his current Southwest points with the CC points. Can that be done with a SP/IB?

He's not the type to go and buy GCs to buy flights

And on a personal note (hence the new post) is there any card that I can exclusively use for GCs/VRs and not get a A/A or F/R?

IMO, there is not really a card which will guarantee you a no A/A or F/R. It's all YMMV.
If you can provide legitimate reasons why you would be getting these cards if an A/A or F/R comes along, you should be fine.

You probably need SS and know some basic information like birthday, address and possible the security word used when applying for the card (usually mothers maiden name).
