Sounds like she really wanted to get you to open an account, and would say anything to do so.

Well, technically you can redeem WN points for a flight on a Star alliance airline using the More Rewards option via the credit card (at terrible redemption rates).

I would bet they work for a temp agency on an as needed basis and therefore do not attract America's best and brightest...

We could dream. Might actually mean a decent redemption rate on a trip to HI.

which is exactly why I would NEVER fill out a credit application at the airport...they also might sell your personal information to the highest bidder.
