KevinInRI,

Thanks for your feedback! I tried to do quite a bit of research before choosing rapid rewards since I needed a program that didn't require you to fly often. The biggest drawback for me was that southwest doesn't fly into Miami.

I wish I would have waited to sign up for the southwest credit card. I got my 50k points in November which only gave me two months to earn the other 60k needed for the companion pass. I had to start back at 0 in Jan.
