basically 32 credits = 50k sw (I think)
the new southwest system of getting 50k rapid reward points can be transferred to airtran at a rate of 1,200-1 airtran point. airtran flights are bookable at the rate of 8 or 16 points for one way regardless of where you are flying to or from on airtran. 8 is lower level (coach) and 16 is (business) but there isn't much of a difference between the two. basically slightly more room and free drinks. so if the lower level is available from kc to chicago and from kc to aruba, it would cost you the same amount of points (8).if you have airtran points and want to transfer them to southwest then they don't transfer to the new system (reward points which are basically cash), they transfer to the old southwest system which is kind of like the current airtran system. they transfer one point to one point.what makes it kind of fun is that if you have a bunch of southwest rapid reward points and want to book a flight, you might want to book that flight using your rapid reward points or you might want to transfer to airtran and then back to southwest. ex- say a southwest flight one way flight that you want to book is $280 and you have the new system rapid reward points. that would maybe cost you more rapid reward points to book with cash then it would to transfer 9,600 rapid reward points to airtran for 8 credits and then back to southwest for 8 credits if that flight is available on southwest for the old "8 credit one way booking".pretty sure i didn't explain that well. google if confused. sorry.

rick, rick, rick, listen, rick, listen.....just get the points, hold on, and you have 50K SW miles. (if you don't use them on airtran)

it's a chase card now, no churningEDIT: dumbfucks
Last year my mom also pointed out to me that apparently there are clothing stores other than Old Navy. Who knew? She introduced me to this brand called Lacoste that has a stupid alligator logo on it (or is it a crocodile?). She told me that apparently it’s considered “cool,” and was my only chance of marrying someone on the @AmericanAir Twitter team.

Quote from: GoodForAnother on October 04, 2012, 09:27:24 AMjealousI'm in row 3 in the nose of the 747. I will be able to see out the window straight ahead because of the curve of the jet. in even the most minor crash I will be instantly killed on impact and probably exit the plain flying through that window.
will actually be seated ahead of the pilot who is on the second deck. really mind blowing stuff.
