I've asked in the thread for the relevant ThankYou card and haven't heard back; I'm thinking there may be more response here.

I see from the Citi FAQ that ThankYou points can be used to book WN flights, by phone since they don't show on their booking site. Do people here have experience with it? I'd like to apply LUV vouchers to the booking, which may be a complication, and have people had a problem getting the fare that shows on the WN site, which seems to be a something that people report with TY and other airlines?

Background is that I've cancelled my RR Visa, and was on the verge of getting the Barclays Arrival + to get 2% back towards all travel, when they closed applications in preparation for offering a devalued product. I was seeing discussions indicating that, for the long term, one might as well get a 2% rebate card without a fee, but I was thinking of getting the Arrival + for the opening bonus in the fee-free year.

If I was mainly interested in getting a year-end holiday trip for two of us on WN for free or not much, I could compare Arrival +'s $400+ bonus to the relevant TY's $625 in airfare, but I've been worrying about how smoothly that booking would go, hence my question.

Since last night, I'd been thinking that I could try to get the RR points to cover the whole trip, potentially bringing me full circle to getting the RR Visa again, but I'd rather hold off on that to possibly game the system to get a Companion Pass in a future year. That leads me to think that maybe it's time to get the Chase Sapphire Preferred, which I'd dismissed in the past because of having too many other Chase cards, but I only have one now and I don't think I'll be under the recent churning block. Those would be points to convert to RR, maybe book 3 of the 4 one-ways on points, and the 4th on revenue applying the $50 LUV vouchers for the two of us. That's my thinking, sorry if this has gotten long.
