you can fly nonstop RT MCI-MSP on Delta for like $198

yeah, that's pretty cheap. you'll have to figure out what the value is of flying nonstop v. the cost of driving to KC as well as figuring out what your miles are worth to you.

That's cheap, I think my miles can probably be put to better use. Especially since I'm not that flexible since catching one of the Royals' games at Target field is on the agenda.

yeah, keep in mind that those flights out of KC may be much more expensive/unavailable if the royals are playing up there. I'd look at the schedule now and see what's available and then go over your options.

I'm pushing my potential travel partner to commit now, so we can book it while it's available/ cheap.

yeah, ink is good if you have or are comfortable pretending you have a business. CSP is good. both are versatile UR points and you should get both at some point anyway. I can refer you for the CSP if you want.

I would just drive. You don't gain much by driving two hours to kc to get there two hours early plus time at MSP. But of course, I'm cheap.

16 hours in a car is pretty woof. unless you have like wifi and someone else to drive. that's not worth saving whatever the flight would cost imo. but, everyone is different.

I just cancelled my current CSP. I haven't had the Ink before, but it wouldn't be hard for me to pretend I have a business.

so SW sent me an email saying for everyone who I refer to SW's frequent flyer program I get 500 points and they get 250 points. I can't imagine anyone who frequents this thread wouldn't already have a SW frequent flyer account but if you don't this is a good opportunity to get yourself a small amount of free miles and me a slightly less small amount of free points. PM me your name and email address if interested.  :fatty:

never thought i'd see the day where steve dave would whore himself out for 500 SW points, but I guess the credit card game has really changed over the years
