Also if the rate goes down, I rebook and get the points back. It's a great way to set me up to go somewhere further.
I know many hate Southwest and it has it's issues but love how flexible those points are.
Wouldn't you be better off pairing your freedom with sapphire preffered or ink bold and using freedom for the extra bonus points and transferring to southwest....
