And I would be one of those people if RR 1 still existed. I used to have only a few paid short haul flights on WN a year (DTW to either MDW or BNA) and most of my credits were earned back in the days when Chase was generous with churning and through Hilton stays. I had a companion pass for at least four years with only a paid few WN flights a year.
Not sure how many CP's are earned through Credit card spend now that there is RR2.
When RR2 was rolled out, combined with a change in business travel resulting in a lot of long hauls which Delta better served, it paid me to move all my travel from WN over to Delta.
