Here's a real tip if you have good credit and pay off your CC every month.

The SW Visa Premier card costs 69 for the first year. If you spend 3K in the first 90 days you get 50,000 points.

For me from Orlando to MBJ round trip is 10,000 points on the off days. Even got the last trip for 7,500 points.

You still have to pay the tax which is 106 per ticket. For me at the end of the the day I got 4 round trips at 134.00 per trip

When you visit the the SW site you can get the price in points if you choose.

Check it out. It might work for you.

About paying it off every month:

Sooner or later (sooner in my case) you use up your points Time to dump that card and move on to the next bonus card.

Barklay Arrival Preferred:

Chase Sapphire Preferred

Capital One Elite (or something like that)

This can be done indefinitely IF YOU PAY OFF EVERY MONTH

The CC companies call us "freeloaders"
