If you aren’t familiar, a quick juant over here and you’ll quickly and easily learn that Southwest has one of the easiest and hassle-less programs out there. If you sign up for Ding! and keep it installed and active for thirty days, you will receive 2 free credits (equal to about $60 according to my calculations of a value per credit).


I received this message in a recent Rapid Rewards Email Update:

It’s worth even more if you’re close to getting a free frequent flyer ticket and you really want to take that trip on the airline’s tab. That’s when a frequent flyer mileage card comes in incredibly handy. If you sign up for a Continental Airlines World MasterCard® from Chase, you get will get ten thousand OnePass miles at the cost of a $85 annual fee. Plus, you earn a mile for reach dollar you spend, so it’s basically 1% back.

These deals are great when you’re very close to getting a free ticket or when your miles are close to expiring. The annual fee would be high if you weren’t getting ten thousand free miles but you’re actually making $15 worth of free miles. Plus, if you’re eleven thousand miles away from a free flight… you just spend a thousand dollars on the card after you get it and you can fly for free.

They’re critical in any trip planning strategy. Usually a flight from a discount carrier across the country will run you around $300 (Southwest, if you book ahead of time) and if you look at some deluxe carriers like Continental, you’re talking $2000 for last minute arrangements.

Here’s some of the financial mumbo jumbo regarding the card:

  • Fixed 7.9% APR on purchases and balance transfers for 6 months
  • Double OnePass® Miles at Lowe’s® Home Improvement Warehouse, CVS/pharmacy®, AT&T, Hertz®, Macy’s, Bed Bath and Beyond®, KB Toys, U.S. Postal ServiceTM, Best Buy – and any bookstore.
  • Double OnePass® miles on the purchase price of Continental Airlines tickets purchased directly through Continental
  • Earn 10,000 OnePass® miles upon payment of the $85 annual fee
  • No pre-set spending limit*
  • Earn one OnePass® mile for every dollar you charge
  • Dine at any of the more than 7,500 participating restaurants and you’ll earn up to 10 OnePass® miles for every dollar you spend when you use your card
  • $85 Annual Fee
