I've shared this before, but I'm still amazed a lot of people aren't aware of it. Nicole and I never pay to fly. We simply accumulate points every month by paying our bills though our Southwest Airlines credit card. It's really that simple. We have one for business and one for personal use.

If you decide to sign up through my link, yes I'll get a bonus, but you will be on your way to FREE flying.

My wife pays nearly all of our bills using the Southwest credit card the only exception are our property taxes, California charges a ridiculous fee to use a credit card. We also use the Frequent Flyer miles to travel.

Thanks but no thanks, I hate SW airlines and wouldn't put up with their BS free or not

Been doing the same thing with American

Great idea. I wish I liked flying. I don't. It's the experience as a whole. I feel like I'm at someone else's mercy from the time I enter the airline parking lot. Then I get onto a plane that isn't built for 6'4 fellas and put up with being more physically intimate with whoever is sitting next to me than I ever wanted.
I generally just get in the family truckster and drive.

Yeeeeeah. I think I have taken my last airplane ride...hopefully. Take care. Tom Worthington

I fly a fair amount working for NHRA and they give us the points for flights as well as rental cars and hotel rooms.
I do OK with the hotel points because we are there for a week at every national event.
I'll be flying forever before I get a free flight on SW because the book me on the cheapest fares.
No more credit cards for me, one is enough.

I'll have to remember that, SL. Tammi just got it, and it comes with a buddy pass for a year, so that will take a chunk out of flight expenses. I'll get one next year so we can do the buddy pass again.
