does this change how you spend, or just how you earn?

Just how you earn, for now. It would almost be better if it was spent based on the ticket price if it's anything like SW. Hard to tell.

Hmm, I'm wondering if I should maybe switch to krisflyer or ANA to accumulate miles? Has any of the travel blogger dudes looked at this?

Just signed up for the United Airlines Explorer with 50k mile offer.  Luftansa is my default fly-to-Europe airline so with the miles I already have it's a free trip to Prague.  :D

are you aware that lufthansa has their own card? unless you like flying in the back of the bus you may want to go that route. you can't really find 1st award space on lufty unless you are using their miles or are ok waiting for the week before the flight to book it.

Not many bud. I have like 3500 from my last job (for delta), but I'm making this Marco trip (in August) happen for free through my southwest points. I'm up to 30K.

fanman, do you know what DO transfer to SW? Chase Ultimate Rewards! which you can get by signing up for the Chase Sapphire Preferred using your best pal steve dave's referral link! don't do this unless you were going to get this card anyway or this is actually something you want to do.

probably. it has more to do with your maxing out your available credit with chase. they will usually only allow each person to have a defined amount of credit with them. you can call them and tell them to move some of the available credit from the Hyatt to the CSP card to get it approved though if they give you grief about this. if you are serious send me your email address and I'll send you a referral.

yeah let's do it. i'm pretty confident they could give me more credit. 40k miles + 5k for adding an authorized user? consider yourself PM'd

You will have to get a Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card (the best credit card out there in my opinion and what I use for most of my spending) and spend $3k on the card in the first 3 months. When you do this you will get 40k Ultimate Reward points which you can transfer to SW, Hyatt, Marriott, United, and other programs at a 1:1 ratio. So you would have 43k SW miles available after you spend $3k on the card. You can get an additional 5k points if you add an "authorized user" of the card (mrs. wacky?) and they make one purchase with the card. you can then take it away from her and trash it or whatever. So, if you actually want a referral link to that send me your email.

DISCLAIMER: steve dave and goEMAW.com is not responsible for any late payments, maxing out of the card, etc. that wackycat does with this credit card to his own detriment.

fanman said he has 30k SW points, not 3k
