Thank you! We flew into STL a few weeks ago and had looked into Super Shuttle (doesn't exist there) and Uber ($$) - these prices are reasonable. Have you used this service before?

A few qualifiers:
- How often will you travel and where from? I'm going to guess every 2-3 months or so.
- Are you flexible on which days of the week you travel? Yes
- Where else do you plan to go/travel? How often? Not really anywhere else at this time!
- Will one/both of you be checking bags? No. We are pretty good at carry-on only.
- Are you buying coach or first class seats? Could be either, depending on prices.
- How much OTHER spend could you put on the card (total monthly spend on normal things you can pay off each month)? Gosh, as much as is beneficial. I suppose I could even make my mortgage payment with the card and then pay that off?
- What's your goal? Upgrades? Miles for free flights? Not paying baggage fees? Free flights. 100%.
