I have a math question - about SW credit card reward dollars. Can you help me?

[Grumpy's Gal]

The offer for the SW credit card says you earn 1 Reward Dollar per $1 spent on purchases.

So, I spend $100 and get $100 reward dollars, right?

How can I find out how many rewards dollars I need to buy a plane ticket?

The program is changing on 3/1/11.

You will receive Rewards Points instead of RR Dollars. To redeem for flights, you will need to spend 60 points per dollar for a Wanna Get Away fare. It will cost 100 points per dollar for an Anytime Fare and 120 points per dollar for a Business Select Fare.

If you have unused RR credits in your account, you can still convert Rewards Points to credits at a rate of 1200 points per credit until you have reached the 16 credits needed for one RT Award as per the old program.

THANKYOU! I appreciate you taking the time to respond. I had been googling that and I could not find that information.

Trying to find an answer to this question. If I apply for the card now, I would probably not get my card or 2 free flight awards until after March 1st so does that mean I would get points under the new system with no expiration date or black out dates, or because I applied before March 1st I would get credits and be restricted with the one year expiration date and black out dates. I would not being using the free flights until May 2012 so if I would get credits they would have a one year expiration date and we would not be able to use them. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

You can pay $50 for a one year extension after expiry.
