This morning I was checking my email and noticed I had one from Southwest letting me know I now had enough Rapid Rewards credits for a free round trip flight! I’ve been waiting for this in order to book my airfare for San Diego in July. It’s the whole reason I applied for the Southwest Visa. I was able to save myself about $400! My flight ended up costing only $7.50 and that’s the 9-11 fee or whatever they call it now.

I had never used Rapid Rewards before and was surprised at how easy it was to use them. I just logged into my account and picked my flights and done. It was that easy. The best part is I had been keeping an eye on certain flights that I liked and was able to book those flights. I’m actually having a stop at MDW in Chicago that way a friend who’s going will be able to be on the same flight as me which is nice. The flight home though is a non-stop.

I’m really excited and can’t wait. I’m working on having a special Comic Con post to explain what it is for those of you who don’t know. Hopefully I’ll have that together soon.
