Any advice? Buy ~ $833.33 of "Business Select Fares" flights (points are 12x fare price)?

If I then just cancel the flight... so I get $833.33 worth of Southwest credit, would I get to keep the 10,000 points?

Whaddya think... will this work?

Probably easiest to transfer points in from another program. Many hotel programs will let you convert their points into WN points. And they count toward CP.
