nsx -- where can I get a 32 credit application???
If I knew I would have applied myself. I am holding out, waiting for an email invitation.

I should note that Chase has begun reversing bonus miles awarded for some airlines if you cancel a new card within 6 months. I have not heard of this happening for a Southwest card, but you can bet that it will sooner or later.
