good to know! so I can keep my points even if I close the card? sorry to sould like a noobie - I dont usually close cards
the only reason you would want to hold onto the cc is if you plan on cashing out for gift cards
Are you sure about that?
Just got this offer in an email from SW to buy or gift points and get a bonus:4,000 to 8,000 Points = 20% Bonus8,500 to 14,500 Points = 25% Bonus15,000+ Points = 35% BonusIf you gift them, the bonus goes to your friend's account. Ends Nov. 22
What are the fees?
@27.50 per thousand. which is 2.7cpp. Bad deal. With the highest level of bonus it's still 20,250 points for $412.50. 2cpp.When using it for flying, the point are worth 60 points per dollar or 1.67 centsAfter 3/31/14 they're worth 70 points / dollar or 1.4 centsSo don't buy points, pay cash
Where does it say anything about the fees?
I signed onto my SW account. they had the offer written there for me too. I clicked on it.
Gotcha. Do you know of a thread that explains the different point values for the different programs?
http://www.dansdeals.com/index.php?s=6%2F21sell value UR 1.8 cppspg 1.8 ?+ cppMR 1.4 or 1.5 cppavios 1.1 cpp
Aha so it's based on the sell value. And if the goal was to accrue miles? How do you calculate the value of each point? Meaning is 1 avios better than 1 UR for a flight from NY-London? (that was purely an example)
click on the link. Dan has more info.bad example; your example of crossing to europe has fuel surcharges. I use avios like candy to get my kids to/from yeshiva, married ones back to me for yomtov, and the like. Within the US. So to me avios are gold. But, I use my Chase cards and gather UR. Because they can be converted to all sorts of different currencies, including avios, and I want to keep my options open.
Anybody know the CS number for the southwest consumer card? The one on back of the card.
Thanks. What's an A List line?
You're looking for the Chase CSR number? Or the SW CSR number?
