I earned two Southwest reward tickets within the last year without ever having been in one of their planes. There are all kinds of partner opportunities, including triple points from Hertz, double dipping from Hilton Hhonors, etc. Plus, despite stories of a crackdown on eBay sales of their vouchers, there still seems to be pretty brisk business selling them at around $350/pop.

When you add the comments posted above, I think that most people would agree that even with all that some people think is wrong with WN, Rapid Rewards clearly isn't among the issues. If you don't like it, you don't like it.....but there has to be something worse than this.
