Holly Cow Chase Southwest and question about redistribute

Anonymous — Wed, 25 Sep 2013 01:39:52 GMT

Ok since I play to fdly Southwest a lot more and they are running a special with miles I thought I would apply for 50,000 points offer

My cureent cards with Chase are a Chase Freedom at $2000 Credit Limit and a Chase Disney Card (not the premier) at only $500

Now I wonder if they will redistibute any of those credit lines, or what the time frame is on that request, I rather not have a measly $500 on Disney

Well after applying I get this:

---

Grats! Chase is usually more generous with their co-branded cards. I think you will have to wait 12 months before you can move the southwest CL around.

Chase does report limits.

Its a great card especially since you will be flying southwest frequently.

I used to fly SW a lot when I was going back and forth LA and SFO 3-4 times in a week.

I wish I knew about credit cards then. I used my WF card for all those purchases and didn't even have a rapid rewards account set up. All those miles gone......

50k miles is equivalent to a lot of flights if you redeem it at the cheapest rate!

That's the exact same "milk-run" I used to make all the time.

There is an upcoming devaluation of SW points which was released this week, taking effect in March 2014. Approximate devaluation of 14%.

High speed rail is in the work's for that route. Now just need to get a plan for high speed rail on my SFO to SEA "milk-run".

Estimated completion for the SF to LA route is around 2030 and it should be a two and a half hour trip.

Ow didn't quite expect SW points to undergo devaluation as well. SW overall is a pretty good airline to fly for short haul flights. I don't really need a cozy seat that can recline or a special entertainment system for a flight that's going to land in less than an hour.

Agreed, but I would at least prefer assigned seating.

Congrats on the approval! Southwest is my favorite followed closely by United and then Delta. IMHO, Southwest is just really really nice.
