A few questions on this...
I want to fly in April. If I apply and get the card within the next two weeks, I could spend the $2000 and hopefully have the points by January 1, 2013. Has anyone used this offer much? (I know there's a much longer thread on this subject.) I had this card before (when you didn't have to spend any certain amount of money... you just got the free flights). I recall the agent on the phone telling me that there are only so many seats per flight available for use with rapid rewards. So I'm a little worried that, in April, there wouldn't be RR seats available on the flights I need. My dates aren't flexible. Can anyone speak to this? If I get the 50,000 points by mid-January, is it likely that I'll be able to get seats in April? I want to two go two weeks after Easter.
Any help on this would be appreciated!
