1. The alternative to redeem for gift cards (for RR Visa holders)
So come 4/17, if the redemption goes above 100 RR points per $1 of airfare for that peak/holiday period then we are better off reddening WN gift cards with our RR points to pay for the ticket. Okay, I guess that does put a floor on how bad it gets.
I am holding off on getting the 2nd credit card for the mrs in order to hit companion pass till this gets cleared up in the spring.
