So, I was on SWA's website looking at flights to Florida for my snowbird parents
and I saw the offer for the Rapid Rewards Premier VISA. 50,000 points after your first purchase, 6,000 points on your anniversary and an annual fee of $99. I had looked at getting a RR VISA a few weeks ago and called SWA with some questions. At that time I was told that if I called SWA and they transferred me to Chase, I would receive an additional 5,000 points
. Well, I called SWA this afternoon because I wanted to make sure that I could use those 50,000 points to buy tickets for somone other than myself (DH, DS and DSGF
for our WDW/DCL/WDW trip next May
). I was told that yes, I could
. The SWA rep then transferred me to Chase. I was told by the Chase rep that there were no additional points for my call being transferred from SWA AND if I applied over the phone, I would only receive 25,000 points; the same number of points that they were offereing if you got a RR Plus VISA
. I told her thank you and I would apply online
. Well, I applied online and was instantly approved
. If airfare ends up where I think it will, our flights to Orlando will be paid for
. I just wanted to give you all a heads up about the difference in offers depending on how/where you apply
