Other thoughts:
I have paid for 4 round trip SW tickets from Hobby to Seattle recently with points (85k I think), and paid cash (and was reimbursed by Barclay arrival) for a round trip Austin to Seattle (multiple airlines on the way out, AK on the way back non stop). I was considering a getting a Chase SW Plus Personal and a Buisness for myself, then getting a CP for us, but since the flights are already booked anyone see any issues (no fee for cancelations, cancel and rebook with the CP?)? Other cards I should consider? Will I be able to use the same small business for my new Ink cards (my wife and I have separate small businesses, and use our SSN for Tax IDs)?

Anyone see any issues with this? I should be able to cover the required spending.

Anything else I should look at or that I should change? Any and al thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated!

TIA
